How is HA-MRSA acquired?

  1. Through contaminated water

  2. Hospital settings acquired

  3. Genetic predisposition

  4. Airborne transmission

The correct answer is: Hospital settings acquired

Hospital settings are considered a high-risk environment for acquiring HA-MRSA, as it is often spread through contact with contaminated surfaces, equipment, or infected individuals. The other options are incorrect because - A: MRSA is not usually associated with water contamination, as it can typically survive for short periods of time in water. - C: While there may be a genetic component to an individual's susceptibility to MRSA, it is not the primary mode of transmission. - D: While some respiratory infections can be caused by MRSA, it is not typically spread through the air and is more commonly spread through physical contact.
