A nurse teaches a client infected with hepatitis A (HAV) about the disease process. Which statement, if made by the client, would cause the nurse to further reinforce the teaching?

Option:

-->"I should have been more careful with my sexual practices."

--->"With good hand hygiene I should not pass this to my family."

---> "I may have eaten contaminated restaurant food."

---> "Although this is infectious, I should have a full recovery."

The correct statement is "I should have been more careful with my sexual practices."

Explanation:

Hepatitis is defined as an inflammatory disease of the liver( this is an organ that is responsible for many metabolic processes in the body)which is caused by:

--> Viral infection,

---> autoimmune disorders

---> alcohol,toxin or drugs.

There are 5 different types of hepatitis which includes: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D and Hepatitis E.

Hepatitis A is an inflammatory liver disorder caused by hepatitis A virus as the name implies. The major route of its transmission from one person to another is through faecal - oral, that is, by consuming food or water contaminated by feces from a person infected with hepatitis A. Therefore the statement "I should have been more careful with my sexual practices" doesn't show that the patient understood what the Nurse taught. Therefore, the nurse should further reinforce the teaching. Hope this helps, thanks!
