Treat them if they get infected. Treating these types of patients has now lead to VRSA (Vancomycin Resistant Staph Aureus). What are we going to do when we are all carrying around organisms resistant to all the antibiotics known to man. It won't be long if we keep having this attitude of treating colonized healthy people. Educate your nurses that they don't have to be afraid of this organism. It isn't a FLESH-EATING bacteria, just one that we have created by being scared of other SA (Staph Aureus. Dan R.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
