A 40 year-old man who uses heroin intravenously was diagnosed with hepatitis C (HCV) one year ago and now has chronic viral hepatitis. Which of the following statements by the client to his care provider would warrant correction by the nurse?a. I know the medications to treat this aren't fantastic, but at least there are some options for controlling the virus.b. It is at least a bit reassuring that my liver isn't undergoing damage when I'm not experiencing symptoms.c. Even though I'm sick, at least I won't feel sick most of the time.d. I'm not looking forward to all the side effects of the drug treatments for my HCV, but I hope I don't end up needing a liver transplant.

Answer:

b. It is at least a bit reassuring that my liver isn't undergoing damage when I'm not experiencing symptoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse needs to correct the patient when he says- It is at least a bit reassuring that my liver isn't undergoing damage when I'm not experiencing symptoms.- because Even when he is not experiencing any symptoms his liber is still being damaged by the hepatitis C virus. As long as he is infected by the virus this will damage his liber even when he is feeling well.
