The client in long-term care and other communal environments is at high risk for MRSA.The presence of furuncles and folliculitis is also an indication that MRSA may be present.A client with an open wound from a motorcycle crash would have the potential to develop MRSA,but no signs are visible at present.A client with an elevated white count has the potential for infection but should be at lower risk for MRSA than the client admitted from the communal environment.The rash could be caused by several different things.
