To prevent MRSA infections, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers: 1  Clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before and after caring for every patient. 2  Carefully clean hospital rooms and medical equipment. 3  Use Contact Precautions when caring for patients with MRSA. Contact Precautions mean: Whenever possible, patients with MRSA will have a single room or will share a room only with someone else who also has MRSA.
