a question about MRSA

We have been getting patients from the hospital who are positive for MRSA. We put them on contact precautions. As staff we know what we should do but will the patients roommates be in danger of getting it? We have many patients who "borrow" each others dentures, etc.. :p I guess I may be to cautious about spreading this around but we have 6 residents with this, 2 just returned with positive tests.

I think everyone is misinterpreting this denture thing....If you have spent any time at all in a LTC facility, you will eventually find someone with someone else's denture in their mouth. This is not purposeful...you have to remember, lots of these folks are still ambulatory, but very demented....and they wander into other residents rooms and dig through their stuff. This occ results in the whole denture swapping thing. I know one facility I went to tried to have everyone's family have their dentures inscribed...but that is costly and not everyone would do it.

Thanks Kathryn for knowing what I meant. We have patients that get in others beds, wear their glasses etc.
