Answer to Question 2

D
Long-term nutrition management after a liver transplant needs to be tailored to help prevent ex-cessive weight gain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Weight loss, anorexia, and nausea do not usually occur. Ascites, edema, and electrolyte imbalances may occur immediately after the transplant, but do not usually persist long term. Cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatic coma do not occur after a successful transplant.
