Answer:

To prevent MRSA infections, healthcare personnel: Clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before and after caring for every patient. Carefully clean hospital rooms and medical equipment. Use Contact Precautions when caring for patients with MRSA (colonized, or carrying, and infected).
