Answer to Question 1

C
The buildup of ammonia can be prevented with the use of lactulose (Chronulac) and neomycin. Preventing the buildup of ammonia will prevent hepatic encephalopathy from breakdown of blood and the release of ammonia in the intestine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
For the nursing diagnosis Impaired Gas Exchange related to immobility, teaching and encouraging turning, coughing, and deep-breathing exercises is a nursing intervention that strengthens self-care capacity and thus aligns with the holistic model. The other three choices do not achieve this to the same degree.
