A resident on Airborne Precautions for tuberculosis is kept in a special room. What is true about that room?

• A.It pushes extra air out so the door can stay wide open
• B.It is used for residents who need a quieter rest area
• C.It is a negative pressure room and the door should stay closed
• D.It must be shared with another resident on the same hall

Why

Airborne rooms use negative pressure so air flows in, not out, and the closed door keeps that system working. Sharing the room or opening the door defeats the control.
