Which condition involves a contagious liver infection caused by a virus?

Hereditary
Heimlich maneuver
HIV
Hepatitis A

The correct answer is: Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is indeed the correct answer as it specifically refers to a contagious liver infection caused by the Hepatitis A virus. This virus is typically transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or through close contact with an infected person. Understanding Hepatitis A is important for CNAs as they may encounter patients with this condition and need to be aware of the necessary hygiene and safety practices to prevent its spread. The other options do not pertain to a contagious liver infection. Hereditary refers to traits or conditions passed down through genetics and does not involve viral transmission. The Heimlich maneuver is a first aid procedure for choking, which is unrelated to liver infections. HIV is a different virus that primarily affects the immune system and is associated with AIDS, rather than liver complications like those seen in Hepatitis A.
