A nurse is assessing a client who has advanced cirrhosis. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Petechiae are small, red or purple spots caused by capillary bleeding and are common in advanced cirrhosis due to thrombocytopenia and coagulation defects. B. Peripheral ulcers are not typically associated with cirrhosis. C. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition unrelated to liver disease. D. Hypertension is not a hallmark of advanced cirrhosis; portal hypertension may occur, but systemic hypertension is not expected.
