Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a client diagnosed with ascites. Which assessment finding would the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ascites, the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, typically presents with weight gain rather than weight loss. Ascites often accompanies peripheral edema, particularly in the lower extremities. Ascites is not typically associated with flushed skin; rather, it may lead to pallor due to anemia or jaundice due to liver dysfunction. Ascites is not directly associated with vomiting blood; hematemesis may indicate complications such as esophageal varices, which can occur in advanced liver disease.
