Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Which of the following types of isolation precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Contact precautions. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRS
A) is typically spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces.
Therefore, initiating contact precautions is essential to prevent the spread of the infection to other individuals. This includes wearing gloves and gowns when providing care to the client, ensuring proper hand hygiene, and properly cleaning and disinfecting the environment.
The other choices are incorrect:
A: Droplet precautions are used for infections spread through respiratory droplets (e.g., influenza, pertussis), not MRSA.
C: Protective environment precautions are used for clients with compromised immune systems to protect them from environmental pathogens, not for MRSA.
D: Airborne precautions are used for infections spread through airborne particles (e.g., tuberculosis, chickenpox), not MRSA.
