A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has ascites due to cirrhosis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend to include in the plan?

A. Correct. Measuring abdominal girth daily is important to monitor for changes in ascites and fluid retention. B. Restricting sodium intake is important for clients with ascites to manage fluid retention, but a specific limit of 3 g per day is not universally applicable. C. Protein intake should not be significantly restricted for clients with ascites; protein is essential for maintaining adequate serum albumin levels. D. Positioning the client supine with legs elevated might be uncomfortable and not directly related to managing ascites.
