MRSA is a dangerous type of staph infection that is commonly found in healthcare facilities. Doctors, nurses, and other staff members have to take precautions to reduce their exposure.
Some of the best ways for nurses to reduce their risk is by washing your hands frequently with antibacterial soap and warm water. Be sure to cover any small wounds, like cuts or scrapes, with a proper bandage. Always wear gloves and proper protective gear when handling equipment and soiled linens in a patient’s room.
When proper preventative measures are taken and good hygiene is followed, nurses can keep themselves safe and healthy in the workplace.
