Question

53 multiple choice 1 point what is the primary purpose of a negative air pressure room? to filter chemical contaminants from the air to increase oxygen concentration for patients to maintain a sterile environment for surgeries to prevent cross - contamination of airborne pathogens clear my selection

Explanation:

A negative air - pressure room has lower air pressure than the surrounding areas. This causes air to flow into the room from outside, preventing potentially contaminated air from flowing out and thus preventing cross - contamination of airborne pathogens. It is not mainly for filtering chemical contaminants, increasing oxygen concentration, or maintaining a sterile environment for surgeries.

Answer:

To prevent cross - contamination of airborne pathogens
