Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Dismissing the client's concerns and suggesting they should only focus on getting well may invalidate their feelings.
B. This response may come across as dismissive or invalidating of the client's concerns.
C. This response acknowledges the client's concerns and opens up a conversation about their worries and future plans, showing empathy and understanding.
D. While encouragement to work hard on physical therapy is important, it doesn't directly address the client's expressed concerns about their future.

A. "An increased weight in the abdomen can lead to problems with getting comfortable when lying down, therefore, have extra pillows in bed." B. "Due to the increased weight in the abdomen, it is advised that you do not wear undergarments as they will not fit." C. "Due to the increased abdominal weight, take your time with walking as your balance might be affected and cause a fall." D. "The increased weight in your abdomen will mean that you can no longer exercise due to the strain on your heart."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Providing extra pillows in bed can help elevate the client's upper body, relieving discomfort and promoting comfort and restful sleep but cautioning the patient to take time while walking to avoid falls is the most important.
B. Advising the client not to wear undergarments due to increased abdominal weight is not necessary and may not be appropriate or practical.
C. For an older adult client with ascites related to end-stage liver disease, the most important precaution to include in teaching is that the increased abdominal weight can affect balance and might cause a fall, so it's advised to take time with walking.
D. Encouraging the client to avoid exercise due to the increased weight in the abdomen may lead to deconditioning and further health issues. Encouraging appropriate levels of physical activity within the client's limitations is important for overall health and well-being.
