A 40 year-old man who uses heroin intravenously was diagnosed with hepatitis C (HCV) one year ago and now has chronic viral hepa
titis. Which of the following statements by the client to his care provider would warrant correction by the nurse?a. I know the medications to treat this aren't fantastic, but at least there are some options for controlling the virus.b. It is at least a bit reassuring that my liver isn't undergoing damage when I'm not experiencing symptoms.c. Even though I'm sick, at least I won't feel sick most of the time.d. I'm not looking forward to all the side effects of the drug treatments for my HCV, but I hope I don't end up needing a liver transplant.
b. It is at least a bit reassuring that my liver isn't undergoing damage when I'm not experiencing symptoms.
Explanation:
