A nurse is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in an abdominal wound. The nurse enters the room to check the client's pulse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Wear clean gloves. In this scenario, the nurse is checking the client's pulse, which does not involve direct contact with the wound or bodily fluids. Clean gloves are sufficient for this task to prevent cross-contamination. Sterile gloves (choice
A) are not necessary as there is no need for a sterile field. An N95 respirator mask (choice
B) is used for airborne precautions, which are not indicated in this situation. Protective eyewear (choice
