Nancy Gilbert is a 65-year-old Caucasian female with a history of laryngeal cancer. She was admitted with pneumonia and placed in contact isolation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). During this scenario, learners must assess the patient, provide tracheostomy care, and perform any needed interventions while maintaining contact isolation precautions.
