I took care of someone that had MRSA and was told only to wear gloves, later I found out this person had it once before and was never told. We were not given any information on MRSA and I looked it up myself, because I took care of an elderly lady in her home. Shold the family have given us information or a handout on MRSA. To be safe I went and had myself tested, and the test was negative, however I felt we should have been told and given information. Just telling you to wear gloves should not be the only answer to this issue.
MRSA disclosure and the right to know patient had it?
