The nursing action that carries the greatest likelihood of contributing to the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is option(a)i.e, Emptying the Foley catheter bag of a client with VRE and then helping the client in the next bed transfer to a chair without washing hands between contact.

Vancomycin-resistant The bacterial species of the genus Enterococcus known as enterococci, or vancomycin-resistant enterococci, are resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin.

Through direct contact with an infected or colonized person, VRE can be transferred from one person to another. It either came from another person's hands directly or indirectly through contaminated ambient surfaces or medical equipment. It cannot be transmitted through the air or through sneezing or coughing.

Most individuals can recover from VRE infections, and the prognosis frequently depends more on the underlying illness than the infectious agent. The length of treatment varies on where the infection is located. For instance, six weeks of antibiotic therapy may be necessary for heart valve infections.

The complete question is:
