A nurse is caring for a client who reports consuming heavy amounts of alcohol. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Glaucoma: While alcohol use can affect overall health, it is not directly linked to the development of glaucoma, a condition related to intraocular pressure. B. Fatty liver disease: Heavy alcohol consumption is a common cause of fatty liver disease, which can progress to more severe liver conditions, including cirrhosis. This is the most likely manifestation for a client with excessive alcohol use. C. Asbestosis: Asbestosis is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, not related to alcohol consumption. It is seen in people exposed to asbestos. D. Gallstones: While alcohol use can indirectly affect gallbladder function, it is not a direct cause of gallstones. The most common causes are obesity, high-fat diets, and other metabolic factors.
