Viral Hepatitis (A, B & C): Transmission Precautions and Care Support
Learn the CNA's role in caring for a resident with hepatitis — understanding the liver and the A/B/C types, applying standard precautions and bloodborne-pathogen protection, supporting the resident without stigma, recognizing signs and complications, and protecting yourself through vaccination, sharps safety, and exposure response. CNAs do not diagnose hepatitis, give or adjust medications, or interpret lab results.
