    A client with cirrhosis of the liver is admitted with complications related to end stage liver disease. Which intervention(s) should the nurse implement? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A diet low in phosphorus is not typically indicated for liver cirrhosis; instead, a low sodium diet is recommended to manage edema and ascites. B. Noting signs of swelling and edema is important as these are common complications of cirrhosis due to hypoalbuminemia and portal hypertension. C. Increasing oral fluid intake is not advised as it can exacerbate fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites) and peripheral tissues. D. Monitoring abdominal girth helps in assessing the progression of ascites, which is a common complication of cirrhosis. E. Reporting serum albumin and globulin levels is crucial as they provide information on the liver's synthetic function and the severity of liver disease.
