Chapter 44: Nursing Management: Liver, Pancreas, and Biliary Tract Problems
MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A patient contracts hepatitis from contaminated food. During the acute (icteric) phase of the patient’s illness, the nurse would expect serologic testing to reveal a. antibody to hepatitis D (antiHDV). b. hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). c. anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G (anti-HAV IgG). d. anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M (anti-HAV IgM). ANS: D Hepatitis A is transmitted through the oral-fecal route, and antibody to HAV IgM appears during the acute phase of hepatitis A. The patient would not have antigen for hepatitis B or antibody for hepatitis D. AntiHAV IgG would indicate past infection and lifelong immunity.
