Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assigned to care for a client being admitted with a diagnosis of cirrhosis and ascites. Which dietary measure should the nurse expect to be prescribed for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If the client has ascites, sodium and possibly fluids would be restricted in the diet. The client should maintain a normal amount of fat intake. The diet should supply sufficient carbohydrates to maintain weight and spare protein. The total daily calories should range between 2000 and 3000 . The diet should provide ample protein to rebuild tissue but not an amount that will precipitate hepatic encephalopathy.
