For example, clients with autoimmune hepatitis can be treated with corticosteroids to stop the autoimmune response. On the flip side, hepatitis B infection (HBV) infection can be treated with a class of antiviral medications called nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which include medications such as adefovir, tenofovir, and entecavir. In contrast, hepatitis c infection (HCV) infection can be treated with nucleotide polymerase inhibitors like sofosbuvir and nucleoside analogs like ribavirin. Lastly, clients with hepatitis B and C infections can also be treated with interferons like peginterferon alfa-2a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/treatment-for-hcv.png\" alt=\"TREATMENT\nAUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS\n\u2022\tCORTICOSTEROIDS\n\u21b3 STOP AUTOIMMUNE RESPONSE\nHBV INFECTION\n\u2022\tNRTIs\n\u21b3 NUCLEOTIDE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE INHIBITORS\n(e.g. adefovir, tenofovir)\n\u21b3 NUCLEOSIDE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE INHIBITORS\n(e.g. entecavir)\n\u2022\tINTERFERONS\n\u21b3 e.g. peginterferon alfa-2a\nHCV INFECTION\n\u2022\tNUCLEOTIDE POLYMERASE INHIBITORS\n\u21b3 e.g. sofosbuvir\n\u2022\tNUCLEOSIDE ANALOGUES\n\u21b3 e.g. ribavirin\n\" class=\"wp-image-4127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/treatment-for-hcv.png 976w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/treatment-for-hcv.png?resize=300,149 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/treatment-for-hcv.png?resize=768,381 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.\u00a0Prednisone 10 mg PO daily\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:&nbsp;<\/strong>Prednisone is a corticosteroid prescribed to slow the autoimmune response in clients with autoimmune hepatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>B.\u00a0Metoclopramide 10 mg PO four times daily 30 minutes before meals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:&nbsp;<\/strong>Metoclopramide is an antiemetic prescribed to treat nausea secondary to an infection, but not effective when treating&nbsp;chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D.\u00a0Fluconazole 400 mg PO once\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:\u00a0<\/strong>Fluconazole is an antifungal drug prescribed to treat fungal infections, such as candidiasis, and is not a treatment option for chronic hepatitis C (HCV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/plans\/rn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a82cbc.png?w=904\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a82cbc.png 904w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a82cbc.png?resize=300,108 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a82cbc.png?resize=768,275 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
