Question 1 of 5
What type of diet is appropriate for a client with chronic cirrhosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct diet for a client with chronic cirrhosis is high calorie, low protein. Cirrhosis can lead to impaired protein metabolism, making it essential to limit protein intake. High-calorie foods help meet the client's energy needs.
Choice B (High protein, high calorie) is incorrect because high protein intake can worsen hepatic encephalopathy.
Choice C (Low fat, low sodium) is not the most appropriate diet for cirrhosis as the focus should be on calories and protein.
Choice D (High calorie, low sodium) does not address the need to restrict protein intake, which is crucial in cirrhosis.
