Correct Answer is ["B","E"]

Explanation

A. Client 5 (Streptococcal pharyngitis): Proper isolation and precautions were implemented, including a private room and surgical mask during transport. No follow-up is needed.
B. Client 4 (Mycobacterium tuberculosis): Requires follow-up. Tuberculosis requires a negative pressure room, not a positive airflow room. Positive airflow rooms are used for clients who need protection from outside pathogens, such as those who are immunocompromised.
C. Client 3 (Herpes simplex): Correct precautions were implemented. Herpes simplex (when involving open lesions) requires contact precautions, including gown and gloves. No follow-up is necessary.
D. Client 2 (Clostridium difficile): Appropriate precautions were taken, including a private room and the use of gown and gloves for direct care. No follow-up is needed.
E. Client 1 (Pertussis): Requires follow-up. Pertussis is transmitted via respiratory droplets, but placing the client in a negative pressure room is unnecessary. Droplet precautions (standard private room and surgical mask use within 3 feet) are sufficient. Negative pressure rooms are reserved for airborne infections such as tuberculosis.
