A nurse is caring for multiple patients with different infectious diseases. Which patient requires the most stringent isolation precautions and poses the highest risk for healthcare-associated transmission?
2A patient with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) urinary tract infection on contact precautions
3A patient with community-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection with mild diarrhea
4A patient with Clostridioides difficile infection experiencing severe diarrhea with toxic megacolon✓ 정답
해설
C. difficile with severe diarrhea and toxic megacolon poses the highest transmission risk due to spore formation and environmental persistence. Other infections (MRSA, VRE, mild C. diff) have lower environmental resistance or severity.
