    A resident of a long-term care facility is being admitted to a medical unit. The client has a fractured humerus and methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which room should the charge nurse assign this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Negative airflow rooms are reserved for airborne infections like tuberculosis, not MRSA. B. MRSA requires contact precautions; placing the client in a semi-private room with another MRSA-infected client is appropriate to prevent spread to uninfected clients. C. Protective environment measures are for immunocompromised clients to prevent exposure, not for MRSA. D. HBV is not transmitted by contact precautions; placing an MRSA client with an HBV client risks cross-contamination.
