A patient is in the late stages of liver failure with cirrhosis and progressive, irreversible damage. What should the nurse explain to the family?
◦ Abstinence from alcohol may decrease further liver cell injury and improve portal hypertension.
◦ The liver is the only organ affected so that the patient and family need not worry about other body systems.
◦ Liver transplantation is the only feasible treatment.
◦ If the patient does not have any variceal hemorrhages, he will probably live for years.
