Place the patient on Contact Precautions in a private room.
When a private room is not available, the patient may be
placed in a room with a patient(s) who has MRSA, but no other infection
or colonization with a different multiple-antibiotic-resistant organism
(i.e., VRE).
If a private room is unavailable and cohorting cannot be
accomplished, then call Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control
for consultation at 8-4634.
