Tabitha has been admitted with influenza. The nurse discusses the plan of care with the family. The child will be in droplet isolation. The reason for the droplet isolation is because:

1. The goal is to not bring in any outside infections to the child, as pneumonia can be a complication.
2. The goal is to prevent the spread of the virus to any of the health-care workers and other patients.
3. The goal is to prevent a massive outbreak within the community.
4. The goal is to provide a quiet environment for the child to rest.
