Question

21 of 50 a sexually active 20 - year - old client has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis. which statement made by the client would indicate a need for further teaching? answer options 1. \i can never drink alcohol again.\ 2. \i wont go back to work right away.\ 3. \my close friends should get the vaccine.\ 4. \a condom should be used for sexual intercourse.\ rationale, strategy, reference, tip

Explanation:

1. Alcohol can further damage the liver of a person with viral hepatitis, so avoiding alcohol is correct advice.
2. Rest is important for recovery in hepatitis cases, so not returning to work right away is reasonable.
3. Vaccines are available for some types of viral hepatitis (like hepatitis A and B), but not all close - friends necessarily need to get vaccinated as it depends on the type of hepatitis the client has and the nature of their interactions. This statement shows a lack of full understanding.
4. Using a condom during sexual intercourse is important as some types of viral hepatitis (like hepatitis B) can be sexually transmitted.

Answer:

1. "My close friends should get the vaccine."
