A nurse is planning to admit a preschooler from the PACU following the removal of a Wilms tumor. Which of the following children should the nurse identify as an appropriate roommate for the preschooler?
A child with impetigo has a contagious skin infection. It would not be appropriate to room them with a preschooler who has just had surgery, as this could increase the risk of post-operative infection.
A child with a fractured left femur does not have a contagious condition that would pose a risk to the preschooler following Wilms' tumor removal. This would be an appropriate roommate.
