Prevention is critical in managing MDR-PA. Nurses can play a key role by:
- Adhering to Hand Hygiene Protocols: Consistently practicing good hand hygiene before and after patient contact. - Using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Proper use of gloves, gowns, and masks when caring for patients with known or suspected infections. - Environmental Controls: Ensuring that patient care areas are cleaned and disinfected regularly. - Education and Training: Participating in ongoing education and training on infection control practices.
