A, C, E
The child with hepatitis should be placed on a well-balanced low-fat diet. Parents should be taught to not give over-the-counter medications because of impaired liver function. Hand hygiene is the most important preventive measure for the spread of hepatitis. The child will be in contact isolation in the hospital so play time with other hospitalized children is not scheduled. The child will be on contact isolation for at least 1 week after the onset of jaundice, but after that period, will be allowed to return to school.
