Mupirocin for Nasal Decolonization

Our organization is administering twice daily nasal decolonization with mupirocin for our adult patients admitted to a critical care unit. An order is built into our ICU admission and transfer orders to start 5 days of therapy.

If you are doing this, which presentation are you using (i.e., ointment vs cream).
