- A.
  
  Most Resistant Strain of Antibiotics
- B.
  
  Most Resistant Standard Ampicillin
- C.
  
  Methcillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Correct Answer
C. Methcillin Resistant StapHylococcus Aureus

Explanation
MRSA stands for Methcillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. This is a type of bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotic methicillin, as well as other commonly used antibiotics.

2.

Patients acquire MRSA in hospitals.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. Hospitals are known to be a common source of MRSA infections due to the high concentration of sick patients, frequent use of antibiotics, and close proximity between patients and healthcare workers. Therefore, it is true that patients can acquire MRSA in hospitals.

3.

MRSA has become a major concern for people involved with corrections.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. It is highly contagious and can cause serious infections, especially in crowded and confined environments such as correctional facilities. Due to the close proximity of individuals in these settings, the risk of MRSA transmission is increased. Therefore, it is true that MRSA has become a major concern for people involved with corrections.

Rate this question:
4.

MRSA is a ...
- A.
  
  Viral infection
- B.
  
  Bacterial infection
Correct Answer
B. Bacterial infection

Explanation
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of bacteria. It is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to the antibiotic methicillin and other related antibiotics. Therefore, the correct answer is bacterial infection.

Rate this question:
5.

MRSA bacteria can be found in which places, even on healthy people?
- A.
  
  On the skin
- B.
  
  In the nose
- C.
  
  Both of the above
Correct Answer
C. Both of the above

Explanation
MRSA bacteria can be found on the skin and in the nose of both healthy and infected individuals. This is because MRSA is a type of bacteria that commonly colonizes the skin and nasal passages. It can survive and thrive in these areas, even without causing any symptoms or infections. Therefore, both options - on the skin and in the nose - are correct as places where MRSA bacteria can be found.

Rate this question:
6.

MRSA frequently lives harmlessly on unbroken skin surfaces.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. While MRSA can cause serious infections when it enters the body through a cut or wound, it can also live harmlessly on the skin of healthy individuals. This means that individuals can carry MRSA without experiencing any symptoms or harm. Therefore, the statement that MRSA frequently lives harmlessly on unbroken skin surfaces is true.

Rate this question:
7.

MRSA skin infections present as ...
- A.
  
  Infected pimple
- B.
  
  Insect bite
- C.
  
  Spider bite
- D.
  
  A sore
- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above." MRSA skin infections can present in various ways, including as an infected pimple, insect bite, spider bite, or a sore. These infections can be caused by a type of bacteria called Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and can result in redness, swelling, pain, and pus-filled lesions on the skin. Therefore, any of these symptoms could indicate an MRSA skin infection.

Rate this question:
8.

MRSA outbreaks have been linked to ...
- A.
  
  Poor inmate hygiene
- B.
  
  Sharing of cantaminated items
- C.
  
  Close contact sports
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above." MRSA outbreaks have been linked to poor inmate hygiene, sharing of contaminated items, and close contact sports. Poor hygiene practices can contribute to the spread of MRSA in confined spaces like prisons. Sharing contaminated items, such as towels or razors, can also transmit the bacteria. Additionally, close contact sports, where athletes come into direct contact with each other, can facilitate the transmission of MRSA. Therefore, all of these factors can contribute to MRSA outbreaks.

Rate this question:
9.

The most effective infection control measure for preventing and containing MRSA infections is ...
- A.
  
  Antibiotics
- B.
  
  Adequate handwashing
- C.
  
  Wearing gloves for all contact with inmates
Correct Answer
B. Adequate handwashing

Explanation
Adequate handwashing is the most effective infection control measure for preventing and containing MRSA infections. MRSA is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics, so relying solely on antibiotics is not effective in controlling its spread. Handwashing, on the other hand, helps to remove the bacteria from the hands and prevent its transmission. It is a simple and cost-effective measure that can be easily implemented in healthcare settings to reduce the risk of MRSA infections. Wearing gloves for all contact with inmates may provide some protection but is not as effective as proper handwashing.

- A.
  
  Ture
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. Ture

Explanation
The given statement states that one-third of the population has living and replicating staph on their skin. This implies that a significant portion of the population carries staph bacteria on their skin, which can potentially cause skin infections or other health issues. Therefore, the statement is true.
