NCLEX Pharmacology - Free Test Sample Questions

Which of the following groups would be considered at risk for hepatitis A?

Correct Answer:
all of the above


hepatitis a is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis a virus, which is classified as an enterovirus. this virus primarily spreads through fecal-oral transmission, which can occur when an individual consumes food or drinks contaminated with the virus, or through direct contact with an infected person. the virus can also spread in environments where personal hygiene is compromised or sanitation is poor.

certain groups are particularly vulnerable to hepatitis a due to their exposure to risk factors associated with the transmission of the virus. these groups include:

1. **health care professionals** - these individuals are at increased risk because they work closely with patients, some of whom may be infected with hepatitis a. the nature of their job often involves exposure to bodily fluids and handling items that could be contaminated.

2. **young children** - especially those in daycare settings, are at risk due to less developed hygiene habits, which can lead to the easy spread of the virus among them through personal contact or contaminated objects.

3. **institutionalized people** - people in institutions such as prisons or long-term care facilities face higher risks due to the close living conditions and shared facilities, which can facilitate the spread of infections like hepatitis a.

given these considerations, when asked which groups would be considered at risk for hepatitis a, the answer "all of the above" is appropriate. this includes health care professionals, young children, institutionalized people, and indeed any other groups implicitly mentioned under similar risk circumstances. understanding these risk groups helps in targeting preventive measures such as vaccination and improved sanitation practices to control and prevent hepatitis a outbreaks.
