In discussions of MRSA, the acronym CBVD stands for which phrase?

• A. Can Be Very Difficult
• B. Cannot Be Very Different
• C. Could Be Very Dangerous
• D. Can Be Very Disabling

Answer: (A)

When discussing MRSA, the emphasis is on how challenging it can be to manage due to antibiotic resistance, variable patient responses, and the need for careful infection control. The phrase that fits this reality is “Can Be Very Difficult,” because MRSA infections often require non-standard antibiotic choices, longer or more complex treatment plans, and meticulous precautions to prevent spread. This captures the practical difficulty clinicians face in diagnosing, treating, and controlling MRSA, more so than simply labeling it as dangerous or disabling. The other phrases don’t reflect the specific sense of management complexity that this acronym is used to convey.
