Practice Question
A nurse is planning to provide community education about viral hepatitis. Which of the following should the nurse plan to include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Clients who have a history of viral hepatitis are unable to donate blood.
Rationale:
📌Individuals with a history of viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis B or C, are permanently deferred from donating blood due to the risk of transmitting the virus to recipients through transfusion.
📌Hepatitis viruses can remain in the body and pose latent risks even if the person is asymptomatic, making blood donation unsafe.
📌Blood donation centers have strict screening criteria to ensure blood supply safety, and a past history of viral hepatitis disqualifies a potential donor.
📌This recommendation is part of universal blood safety protocols enforced globally to prevent transfusion-transmitted infections.
📌The nurse should clarify common misconceptions about transmission and prevention, and emphasize lifetime blood donor restrictions for certain viral infections.
