Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multi-drug resistant MRSA is a highly infectious and resistant strain of bacteria that requires strict isolation precautions to prevent transmission to other patients and healthcare workers. Standard precautions alone are not sufficient to prevent transmission, and washing hands with soap and water alone is not effective in removing MDR MRSA. Wearing a gown that is tied at the neck and waist is necessary to prevent exposure to the bacteria.
