Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing discharge instructions for a client who has cirrhosis of the liver. Which of the following statements should be included in the education?

Question 5 of 5
A client with cirrhosis is scheduled for a paracentesis. Which of the following statements indicate that the client understands the purpose of the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
