2. Reflect community priorities and needs
3. Promote health through strategies driven by epidemiological evidence

Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is still largely a hospital-acquired infection. Community health nurses should know:
1. Persons with MRSA usually have a chronic illness.
2. MRSA is still a nosocomial (health-care acquired) infection and not often seen in the community.
3. VRE (Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) follows MRSA.
4. MRSA is becoming more common in the community, especially in school athletic programs and prison populations.
