Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a group of unit nurses about the policy for clients who have a history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A client who has a history of MRSA can still transmit the infection. This is because MRSA is a highly contagious bacterium that can be transmitted through direct physical contact or by touching contaminated surfaces. Clients with a history of MRSA can still carry the bacteria on their skin or in their nasal passages, making them potential sources of infection for others.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Antibiotics are not always necessary for clients with a history of MRSA and may not be effective in eradicating the bacteria completely.
B: Immunity to MRSA is not typically developed, as the bacteria can persist and recur in individuals.
C: A protective environment is not required for clients with a history of MRSA unless they have active infections or open wounds.
