Question

33 multiple choice 1 point when preparing an isolation room for a patient with an airborne infection, which engineering control should be prioritized? increase air exchange rates combined with hepa filtration seal the room completely to prevent air exchange rely solely on frequent surface disinfection utilize uv light without addressing air flow clear my selection

Explanation:

For airborne - infection isolation rooms, increasing air exchange rates along with HEPA filtration helps remove and filter out airborne pathogens. Sealing the room completely is not practical as it can cause poor air quality and other issues. Relying solely on surface disinfection does not address airborne transmission. Using UV light without considering air flow is not an effective primary engineering control for airborne infections.

Answer:

Increase air exchange rates combined with HEPA filtration
