For example,

I appreciate the topic on infection control because it prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settings. Infection control practices are important in maintaining a safe environment for everyone by reducing the risk of the potential spread of disease. These practices are designed to reduce the risk of hospital-associated infections and to ensure a safe and healthy hospital environment for our patients, healthcare providers and visitors.

NCLEX Q: A client hospitalized with MRSA (methicillin-resistant staph aureus) is placed on contact precautions. Which statement is true regarding precautions for infections spread by contact?

The client should be placed in a negative pressure room
Infection requires close contact; therefore, the door may remain open
Transmission is highly likely, so the client should wear a mask at all times
Infection requires skin-to-skin contact and is prevented by hand washing, gloves, and gown.
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A client with MRSA should be places in isolation for contact precautions. Gloves, gown, and mask should be used when caring for the patient, as well as performing hand hygiene. The door should remain closed, and patient should stay in room as much as possible, but it is not necessary for the room to be a negative-pressure room. Although MRSA is cultured from the nasal passages, instruct the client to cover their nose and mouth when they sneeze but it is not necessary for the client to wear a mask.
