Practice Question
During a routine assessment, a nurse notes that a client with hepatitis C has jaundice. What action should the nurse include in the client's plan of care?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Monitor the client's liver function tests regularly.
Rationale:
🔶 Jaundice in a client with hepatitis C signals hepatic inflammation or dysfunction, requiring close monitoring of liver function tests (ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR).
🔶 Regular monitoring helps evaluate the extent of liver damage and the effectiveness of treatment.
🔶 Clients should avoid hepatotoxic drugs like acetaminophen and alcohol to prevent further injury.
🔶 Adequate hydration and balanced rest are encouraged, but total inactivity is not necessary.
🔶 Education about disease transmission prevention is also a key nursing responsibility.
