A client diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) is to be admitted to a medical-surgical unit. Which action should the nurse take when planning a bed assignment?

The room needs to be well ventilated and should have at least 6 to 12 exchanges of fresh air per hour and should be ventilated to the outside if possible.
