Answer to Question 1

B
Nursing care focuses on teaching the client about the disease process and its management, with content focused on the specific type of viral infection (i.e., A, B, C, D, or E), improving or maintaining nutritional status, and managing fatigue.

Answer to Question 2

D
Medical treatment focuses on resting the liver and detecting complications early. Antiemetics and vitamins C, B complex, and K are often prescribed, in addition to dietary modifications such as fat or protein restriction.
