reduction priority-setting framework. This framework assigns
priority to the factor or situation posing the greatest safety
risk to the client. When there are several risks to client
safety, the one posing the greatest threat is the highest
priority. The nurse should use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs,
the ABC priority-setting framework, or nursing knowledge to
identify which risk poses the greatest threat to the client. The
hepatitis A virus can be contracted from the feces, bile, and
blood of infected clients. The usual mode of transmission is
the fecal-oral route. Children and young adults are the two

through poor hygiene, hand-to-mouth contact, or another
form of close contact.
