Hepatitis A Case Study

First of all, I did not make the connection with hepatitis A, B, C, D, as being a liver infection. I knew that hepatic meant liver but it is only because I read this article I made the connection. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver (hepatic). 2. I taught that anyone diagnose with hep ABCD had to be on some form of antiviral medication or be expose to long term complication. The only two that causes chronic condition are hep B and C which if left untreated can cause cirrhosis or cancer of the liver. Knowing this I could then provide better teaching information to my patient and recognize the ones that need future intervention.
