Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The priority nursing diagnosis is Acute Pain. Unless the pain is controlled, the client will not be able to participate in interventions to address the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Physical Mobility. The diagnoses of Ineffective Coping and Imbalanced Nutrition can be addressed after Acute Pain and Impaired Physical Mobility have been addressed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Obstruction to portal blood flow causes a rise in portal venous pressure, resulting in splenomegaly, ascites, and dilation of collateral venous channels predominately in the paraumbilical and hemorrhoidal veins and the cardia of the stomach, and extending into the esophagus. Bleeding gums indicate insufficient vitamin K production in the liver. Muscle wasting is commonly associated with the poor nutritional intake seen in clients with cirrhosis. Hypothermia is an unrelated finding.
