Choose your responses, then check the answer.

1 Keep a surgical mask on the client at all times. 2 Use the same blood pressure cuff for the next client after a quick wipe. 3 Wear a gown and gloves when entering the room for direct care. 4 Perform hand hygiene before leaving the room. 5 Remove PPE in the hallway after leaving the room. 6 Use dedicated or disposable noncritical equipment when possible.

Explanation

MRSA with a draining wound requires contact precautions in addition to standard precautions. Gown and gloves, hand hygiene, and dedicated equipment reduce contact transmission. Shared equipment requires proper disinfection, masks are not routinely required for contact spread, and PPE should be removed according to policy before leaving the room or care area.
