A patient hospitalized with MRSA (methicillin-resistant staph aureus) is placed on contact precautions. Which statement is true?

The CDC recommends a private room for patients requiring contact isolation. Gloves, a gown, and a mask should be used when caring for the client. Proper hand washing before and after patient care is essential. The door should remain closed, but a negative-pressure room. MRSA is spread by contact with blood or body fluid or by touching the patient's skin. It can be cultured from the nasal passages, so instruct the patient to cover his nose and mouth when he sneezes or coughs. A mask for the patient is not necessary.
