Explanation:

Question (about protecting a client in chemotherapy)

Chemotherapy clients have weakened immune systems. Reverse isolation (protective isolation) is used to protect immunocompromised clients from external pathogens. Isolation is general, standard precautions are for all patients, contact precautions are for infection spread via contact. So reverse isolation is correct.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, which is a rickettsia. Viruses, bacteria, and protozoa don't cause it.

Measles virus is transmitted through airborne droplets (airborne route), so it can spread through the air from person to person. Thus the statement is true.

Answer:

D. Reverse isolation
