When planning home care for a client with hepatitis A, which preventive measure should be emphasized to protect the client’s family?
Hepatitis A is transmitted through the faecal-oral route or from contaminated water or food. 
Measures to protect the family include good handwashing, personal hygiene and sanitation, and the use of standard precautions. 
Complete isolation is not required. Avoiding contact with blood-soiled clothing or dressings or avoiding the sharing of needles or syringes are precautions needed to prevent transmission of hepatitis B.
Keeping the client in complete isolation
Using good sanitation with dishes and shared bathrooms
Avoiding contact with blood-soiled clothing or dressing
Forbidding the sharing of needles or syringes
