Question: A 68-year-old male was hospitalized due to broken hips after falling from a three (3) level step of a staircase in his apartment. During the seven (7) days after the surgery and hip replacement, the individual became ill from a secondary complication acquired from the lengthy hospital stay. The tending physician assistant (PA) wrote in the patient's chart the following: signs and symptoms, prominent redness, broken skin, irritation, tenderness and inflammation of the skin on the patient's right arm. The patient stated, "I scratched it and the itch does not go away." The PA took a sample from the wound site and was sent to the laboratory for a specific screening test. After two days, the test result of that particular test came back negative. Which screening test for a particular pathogen, a methicillin-resistant, was requested based on the signs and symptoms presented above?
