Preventing MRSA infections involves several strategies:
Hand Hygiene: Regular and thorough hand washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer is crucial. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using gloves, gowns, and masks when caring for MRSA-positive patients. Environmental Cleaning: Regularly disinfecting surfaces and equipment to reduce contamination. Patient Education: Teaching patients and their families about proper wound care and personal hygiene to prevent the spread of MRSA.
