What indicates that a client undergoing post-discharge management after hepatitis still needs further teaching?

The statement about resuming a full activity level within one week indicates that the client requires further teaching because recovery from hepatitis typically involves a gradual return to normal activities rather than an immediate resumption of a full activity level. Hepatitis, especially viral hepatitis, affects liver function, and this can lead to fatigue, malaise, and prolonged recovery times. Patients generally need to be cautious and may require several weeks to months before they can fully resume their normal physical activities, depending on the severity of their liver impairment and overall health status.

Other statements reflect appropriate knowledge for someone recovering from hepatitis. Avoiding alcohol and aspirin is crucial because these substances can further stress the liver. Following a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet is typically recommended to provide energy and reduce stress on the liver during the healing process. Taking prescribed amounts of vitamin K is relevant as patients with liver disease may have issues with blood clotting, and vitamin K plays an essential role in this process.

Thus, the emphasis on immediate full activity in the correct choice clearly identifies the need for further education on the importance of a more cautious approach to physical activity during recovery from hepatitis.
