I have no clue how to enter the notes shown in the measure of the image I have attached. Thanks!

Search the handbook for "Cross staff notation"

Thanks. I read the "Cross staff notation" page before posting my question and didn't find explanation for my case.

This is possible, but you need to do some rework.
There are two possibilities:

You enter all the notes in the bass staff.
select the last three notes and move them to the soprano staff with Ctrl-Shift-UpArrow. (Handbook: cross staff notation)
adjust the flags with the beam properties.
in the soprano line hide the existing whole rest
reverse some of the stem directions with 'x' if necessary

or (second measure):

enter all notes in both staves with rests which are missing in your picture
hide the rests
adjust the beam properties again
hide remaining rests
adjust the stem direction

(Example done with MuS 3.6.2)

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. So basically there is not a more direct way to do it without hiding rests and inverting stem directions. I went with method #2 as it looks more straightful and clear.
