A nurse is educating a client with hepatitis about precautions to prevent transmission. Which statement by the nurse is accurate?

A) Incorrect. Over-the-counter pain relievers may not be effective for alleviating fatigue and weakness associated with hepatitis. Moreover, some pain relievers can be harmful to the liver.

B) Correct. Resting and conserving energy are important interventions for clients experiencing fatigue and weakness, which are common symptoms of hepatitis. Adequate rest supports the body's healing process.

C) Incorrect. While exercise is generally beneficial, scheduling vigorous exercise sessions may be too strenuous for a client experiencing fatigue and weakness. Gentle, low-impact activities are more appropriate.

D) Incorrect. Providing caffeinated beverages may not address the underlying cause of the client's fatigue, and excessive caffeine intake can have negative effects on overall health.

A) Incorrect. Avoiding all contact with family members is unnecessary. Transmission precautions can be taken without completely isolating oneself.

B) Correct. Practicing safe sex and avoiding sharing needles or personal items can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting hepatitis C to others.

C) Incorrect. Hepatitis C is primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, but it is still important to take standard precautions to prevent transmission.

D) Incorrect. Even if a partner has been vaccinated against hepatitis C, it's important to take precautions to prevent transmission, as vaccines are not always 100% effective.
