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

A. Monitor the client's white blood cell count. WBC count is a key indicator of infection and helps monitor the severity of the infection. B. Institute contact precautions for staff and visitors. MRSA is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact, so contact precautions are necessary to prevent transmission. C. Send wound drainage for culture and sensitivity. This is essential to identify the specific pathogen and determine the appropriate antibiotic treatment. D. Explain the purpose of a low bacteria diet. While a low-bacteria diet is often recommended for immunocompromised patients, it is not a priority in this scenario, where infection management and isolation precautions are more urgent. E. Use standard precautions and wear a mask. Standard precautions should always be used, but a mask is not necessary unless the client has respiratory symptoms, which is not indicated in this case.
