c. move the patient to an isolation room
d. those who enter the room should wear a respiratory protection
maintain a room temperature of 90 degrees

Answer 1

Answer: Maintain a room temperature of 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chicken pox is a contagious infection by a virus named as Varicella zoster. The symptoms appear within 1-2 days of infection. The appearance of blisters on face, trunk and all parts of the body along with fever are prominent symptoms of this disease.

Maintain a room temperature of 90 degrees. is incorrect approach this is because of the fact that 90 degree temperature will be hot and this will facilitate the appearance of more blisters and rashes. Thus moderate room temperature will be good for keeping the patient.
