A client with osteomyelitis from a compound fracture of the left tibia has an open draining wound and is admitted with a possible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. What intervention(s) should the nurse include in the plan of care? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Standard precautions are always used, but a mask is not specifically required unless performing a procedure that risks splashing. MRSA is primarily spread through direct contact, so masks are not the main precaution for this client. Choice B reason: A low bacteria diet is not typically required for MRSA or osteomyelitis management and does not directly impact the treatment or prevention of infection spread. Choice C reason: Contact precautions are critical for preventing MRSA transmission, as it can be spread by direct contact with the infected wound or contaminated surfaces. Choice D reason: Sending wound drainage for culture and sensitivity is crucial to identify the specific strain of MRSA and determine the most effective antibiotic treatment. Choice E reason: Monitoring the white blood cell count is important to assess the body's response to infection and the effectiveness of treatment.
