A patient with a history of MRSA is admitted to the emergency department. Which of the following infection control measures is MOST appropriate for this patient?
Contact precautions
Droplet precautions
Airborne precautions
Standard precautions only
Contact precautions are the most appropriate infection control measure for patients with known MRSA. This includes wearing gloves and a gown when entering the patient's room or care area. While standard precautions are always necessary, they are not sufficient alone for MRSA patients. Airborne precautions are not required for MRSA, as it is primarily spread through direct contact. Droplet precautions are used for organisms spread by respiratory droplets, which is not the primary mode of MRSA transmission.
