such as varicella-zoster, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex individuals can be infected and remained free of
manifestations, therefore, unaware that they could be contagious
Question 2: Cirrhosis
Answer: permanent scarring of the liver usually caused by chronic inflammation
Question 3: viral hepatitis
Answer: most common type of hepatitis
Question 4: after exposure to a virus or toxin the liver becomes?
Answer: enlarged from the inflammatory process as it progresses there's an increase and inflammation and
necrosis interfering with blood flow to the liver
Question 5: health promotion and disease prevention for hepatitis
Answer: provide community health educationinterventions on transmission and exposure follow
vaccination recommendations according to the CDC Follow isolation precautions according to the CDC
reinforce use of safe injection practices, which include aseptic technique for Preparation and administration
of parenteral medications, sterile single-use disposable needle and syringe for each injection, single-dose
vials whenever possible, needleless systems or safety caps use PPE appropriate to type of exposure use
proper hand hygiene before preparing and eating food, after using the toilet, or changing a diaper when
traveling to underdeveloped countries drink purified water, avoid sharing eating utensils and bed linens

fatigue, decreased appetite with nausea, abdominal pain, joint pain)
Question 13: physical assessment findings for hepatitis
Answer: Fever Vomiting dark colored urine clay-colored stool Jaundice
Question 14: Lab tests for hepatitis A
Answer: ALT ‘ elevated expected reference range 5-30 U/L AST ‘ Elevated expected reference range 5-30
U/L ALP normal or elevated Expected reference range 50-100 U/L total bilirubin level ‘ Elevated expected
reference range 2-20 umol/L hepatitis A Virus antibodies (anti- HAV) presence indicates the presence of
hepatitis A immunoglobulin M antibodies (IgM) presence indicates inflammation of the liver
immunoglobulin G antibodies (IgG) presence indicates permanent immunity to hepatitis A
