A charge nurse is teaching a group of unit nurses about the policy for clients who have a history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A client who has a history of MRSA will need antibiotics.

A client who has a history of MRSA can develop immunity to the infection.

A client who has a history of MRSA requires a protective environment.

A client who has a history of MRSA can still transmit the infection.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A.   Not all clients with a history of MRSA will require antibiotics. Treatment depends on the presence of active infection, colonization, and other clinical factors.
B.   There is no evidence to suggest that individuals can develop immunity to MRSA. MRSA remains a significant pathogen, and individuals with a history of MRSA remain susceptible to reinfection or colonization.
C.   A protective environment is not typically required for clients with a history of MRSA. Standard precautions, including hand hygiene and appropriate use of personal protective equipment, are sufficient to prevent transmission.

D.   Clients with a history of MRSA can still carry the bacteria on their skin or in their nasal passages and may transmit the infection to others, especially in healthcare settings. Therefore, it is important to adhere to infection control practices to prevent transmission.
