A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the family of a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of a leg wound and is on contact precautions. Which of the following statements by a family member indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. "There is no cure for MRSA.": MRSA infections can be treated with specific antibiotics effective against resistant strains. While MRSA is harder to treat than non-resistant infections, stating there is no cure is inaccurate and may cause unnecessary fear. B. "We will need to wear masks when we are in the hospital room.": Contact precautions for MRSA primarily require gloves and gowns, not masks, unless there is a risk of splashing or aerosolized secretions. Routine mask use is not necessary for standard MRSA wound care. C. "MRSA only occurs in health care facilities.": MRSA can occur both in hospitals and in the community (community-acquired MRSA). Limiting the understanding to healthcare settings is incorrect and may lead to underestimating transmission risks outside facilities. D. "We should remove gloves before leaving the hospital room.": Proper contact precaution protocol requires removing gloves (and gowns) before exiting the room to prevent the spread of MRSA to other areas. This demonstrates correct understanding of infection control practices.
