Question 1 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B
Hepatitis C can be transmitted through contaminated blood. Blood donations were not routinely screened for hepatitis C until 1992, so a person who received a transfusion in 1985 had a risk of exposure. The other choices do not describe a comparable risk factor: hepatitis C is not inherited from a mother who does not have it, and using gloves reduces a nurse’s risk of blood exposure.
