Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of airborne infections: Airborne infections are diseases that are transmitted through the air by droplets or particles. These infections can spread when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing pathogens into the air.

Identify the purpose of a negative airflow room: A negative airflow room is designed to prevent the spread of airborne infections by ensuring that air flows into the room from adjacent spaces, but not out of the room. This is achieved by maintaining a lower air pressure inside the room compared to the outside.

Recognize the conditions that require negative airflow rooms: Conditions that are known to be transmitted via airborne routes, such as tuberculosis (TB), require isolation in a negative airflow room to protect others from infection.

Evaluate the given options: Consider each client condition provided in the problem. A urinary tract infection, hypertension, and a broken leg are not transmitted through the air and do not require a negative airflow room.

Conclude with the correct client condition: A client with tuberculosis requires a negative airflow room because TB is an airborne infection, and isolation in such a room helps prevent the spread of the disease to others.
