- A. A client with a pituitary tumor
- B. A client with respiratory sarcoidosis
- C. A client with a diabetic ulcer
- D. A client with a closed fracture of femur
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client with a pituitary tumor is the most suitable roommate as they are unlikely to have an infectious condition or mobility issues that could complicate recovery.

A closed femur fracture may involve similar mobility restrictions, complicating room logistics.
