A nurse is caring for a patient who has tuberculosis (TB). What statement by the nurse would be most appropriate to educate the patient and family about this condition?

Choice A reason: This is the correct answer, as gloves and gown are the appropriate PPE to wear when performing urinary catheter care for a patient who has a UTI. Gloves protect the nurse's hands from exposure to urine, which may contain infectious agents. Gown protects the nurse's clothing and skin from contamination by urine or other body fluids.

Choice B reason: This is not the correct answer, as gloves and mask are not the appropriate PPE to wear when performing urinary catheter care for a patient who has a UTI. Mask protects the nurse's mouth and nose from exposure to respiratory droplets, which are not a mode of transmission for UTIs.

Choice C reason: This is not the correct answer, as gloves and eye protection are not the appropriate PPE to wear when performing urinary catheter care for a patient who has a UTI. Eye protection protects the nurse's eyes from exposure to splashes or sprays of blood or body fluids, which are unlikely to occur during urinary catheter care.

Choice D reason: This is not the correct answer, as gloves only are not sufficient PPE to wear when performing urinary catheter care for a patient who has a UTI. Gloves protect the nurse's hands from exposure to urine, but they do not protect the nurse's clothing and skin from contamination by urine or other body fluids.

Choice A reason: This action should be taken by the nurse to prevent cross-contamination, as it helps protect the nurse and other patients from exposure to MRSA, which can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected skin or wounds.

Choice B reason: This action should be taken by the nurse to prevent cross-contamination, as it helps prevent the transmission of MRSA, which can survive on surfaces or objects for long periods of time.

Choice C reason: This action should be taken by the nurse to prevent cross-contamination, as it helps eliminate MRSA, which can be resistant to many disinfectants and antibiotics.

Choice D reason: This is the correct answer, as all of the above actions should be taken by the nurse to prevent cross-contamination. MRSA is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that can cause skin and soft tissue infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or surgical site infections.
