Rationale 1: Meningococcemia follows an infection with Neisseria meningitidis. N. Meningitidis is transmitted through airborne droplets; thus, the child should be placed in a private room in respiratory isolation.
Rationale 2: The child does not need to be protected from others and does not need protective isolation.
Rationale 3: A patient with meningococcemia is contagious and must be placed in isolation.
Rationale 4: Meningococcemia is very contagious, and other children should not be exposed to a child who has been diagnosed with it.
