Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the care of a client who has a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - "I will place the client in a private room."
Rationale: Placing the client in a private room helps prevent the spread of MRSA to other clients and healthcare workers. Isolation precautions are essential for MRSA infections to minimize transmission. A private room reduces the risk of spreading the bacteria to others.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Wearing an N95 respirator mask is not necessary for MRSA since it is transmitted through direct contact, not airborne.
C: Removing gown before gloves can lead to contamination and spread of MRSA. Gloves should be removed first to prevent contact with contaminated surfaces.
D: Visitors should follow standard precautions, such as hand hygiene, but wearing a mask within 3 feet of the client is not specifically required for MRSA.
