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

A. Place the client in a room with negative-pressure airflow: Negative-pressure airflow is used for airborne precautions. MRSA requires contact precautions, which include placing the client in a private room or a room with others who have the same infection. B. Ensure visitors use a surgical mask when they enter the client's room: Surgical masks are not required for MRSA unless there is a respiratory complication. For MRSA, visitors should use gloves and gowns for contact precautions, but a mask is not necessary. C. Remove isolation gown before removing gloves: The gown should be removed after the gloves to prevent contamination. The gloves should be removed first to avoid touching any surfaces with contaminated hands, and then the gown can be safely removed. D. Use designated equipment that stays in the client's room: To prevent the spread of MRSA, designated equipment (such as blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, and thermometers) should stay in the client's room. This minimizes risk of cross-contamination and ensures infection control.
