Question 1 of 5

The nurse is admitting a client with the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy. Which assessment finding should the nurse anticipate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Bradycardia is not typically associated with hepatic encephalopathy. Asterixis is a characteristic finding in hepatic encephalopathy, known as 'flapping tremor,' indicating neuromuscular irritability due to elevated blood ammonia levels.
