A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A Reason: Removing personal protective equipment (PPE) after leaving the client's room is correct, but it should be done in a way that minimizes the risk of contamination. Proper doffing of PPE is essential to prevent self-contamination. Choice B Reason: Wear a gown when assisting the client with personal hygiene. When caring for a client with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a long-term care facility, wearing a gown when assisting the client with personal hygiene is an important infection control measure. MRSA can be transmitted through direct contact with contaminated surfaces or skin, so wearing a gown can help prevent the spread of the bacteria from the client to the healthcare provider's clothing. Choice C Reason: Ensuring that negative air pressure is active for the client's room is not typically necessary for MRSA precautions. Negative air pressure rooms are often used for clients with airborne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis. Choice D Reason: Restricting the client's visitors may be necessary in some cases, especially if there is a concern about the potential spread of MRSA to vulnerable individuals. However, visitor restrictions should be implemented based on the facility's policies and guidelines, and they should be communicated clearly to visitors and family members.
