The nurse is planning care for a female client diagnosed with acute hepatitis A virus (HAV). What's the primary mode of transmission for HAV ?()
A.Fecal contamination and oral ingestion.
B.Exposure to contaminated blood.
C.Sexual activity with an infected partner.
D.Sharing a contaminated needle or syringe.
参考答案:A
解析:
HAV is predominantly transmitted by the ingestion of fecally contaminated food. Transmission is more likely to occur with poor hygiene, crowded conditions, and poor sanitation. Hepatitis B and C may be transmitted through exposure to contaminated blood and blood products. Sexual activity with an infected partner and sharing contaminated needles or syringes may also transmit hepatitides B and C.
