Question

- 13. Discuss MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile Lô True or False 6 1. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococ- cus aureus (MRSA) is almost always spread by direct physical contact. s Once vancomycin-resistant enterococ- cus (VRE) is established, it is relatively easy to get rid of it. ở MRSA can be spread through indirect contact by touching objects contami- nated by a person with MRSA. Handwashing will not help control the spread of MRSA. VRE causes life-threatening infections in people with weak immune systems. Frequent handwashing can help pre- vent the spread of VRE. Handwashing and proper handling of contaminated wastes can help prevent Clostridium difficile (C. difficile).

Answer 1

1.MRSA can be spread by touch and by physical contact .When the patient is touched and if the hands are not cleansed ,it sill definitely spread MRSA

Ams:True

2.Vancomycin resistant enterococcus if it occurs it is highly difficult to treat because of its high resistance to the antibiotics. To treat effectively proper medical attention and care is required

Ans:False

3.MRSA stays in the surface where it is contaminated and if that surface is touched the risk for MRSA is possible.

Ans:True

4.The best way to control and prevent MRSA is handwashing

Ans:True

5.The people with VRE can cause life threatening infections like cardiovascular disease, central nervous system problems ,renal system problems.People with weak immune system are more prone for high infections.

Ans:True

6.Frequent handwashing and proper disinfection can stop spread VRE

Ans:True

7.C.difficille is spread through fecal matter and wastes so handling the contaminated wastes and discarding it as oer the protocol can reduce infection

Ans:True
