单选题
A client has been diagnosed with type A hepatitis. What special precautions should the nurse take when caring for this client? A. Put on a mask and gown before entering the client's room. B. Wear gloves and a gown when removing the client's bedpan. C. Prevent the droplet spread of the organism. D. Use caution when bringing food to the client.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】The nurse should wear gloves and a gown when removing the client's bedpan because the type A hepatitis virus occurs in stools. It may also occur in blood, nasotracheal secretions, and urine. Type A hepatitis isn't transmitted through the air by way of droplets. Special precautions aren't needed when feeding the client, but disposable utensils should be used.
