Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A client with MRSA should be placed in a private room or with another MRSA-colonized client. If cohorting is not possible, the MRSA-colonized client can be placed in a room with another client who is not at high risk for infections. A client with third-degree burns can easily get infected because of severe impaired integrity of the skin.
