Cevap
The correct infection control measures for a client with MRSA include assigning a private room or cohorting with another MRSA-positive client, putting on a single-use gown before direct care, and leaving dedicated non-critical equipment inside the room.
Methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA) is transmitted via direct and indirect contact. Contact Precautions require placing the client in a private room (or cohorting with another client with the same active infection), using a gown and gloves when interacting with the client or their environment, and dedicating non-critical care equipment (such as a stethoscope or blood pressure cuff) to the client's room to prevent cross-contamination.
