Answer to Question 1

1. Accumulation of fluid in the abdomen

Rationale:
Ascites is the accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen, and is a result of hepatocellular failure. Jaundice is manifested as yellow-tinged skin, and is the result of hepatitic disorders. The client experiencing hepatic problems might have bleeding and bruising issues due to inadequate vitamin K. Obstructed biliary flow could be the cause of gallbladder pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Hypotonicity is flaccidity which is a decrease in muscle tone. Spasticity is an increase in muscle tension. Hypertrophy is an increase in muscle size and shape. Atrophy is a reduction in muscle size and shape.
