A nurse is planning care for a client who has viral hepatitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Rationale: A. Clients with hepatitis often experience anorexia and nausea. Small, frequent meals are better tolerated than three large meals. B. Carbohydrates are the primary source of calories in clients with hepatitis. They help spare protein and allow the liver to rest and heal. This is the recommended dietary intervention. C. Protein should be limited in clients with severe hepatitis, especially if liver function is impaired, because excess protein can worsen encephalopathy. D. Acetaminophen is hepatotoxic and should be avoided in clients with hepatitis due to the risk of further liver damage.
