Which assessment findings are consistent with cirrhosis? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Aggressive physical therapy is not a treatment for Addison's disease. While physical therapy can be beneficial for certain conditions, it does not address the hormonal deficiencies that are characteristic of Addison's disease.
Choice B reason: Lifelong hormone therapy with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids is the standard treatment for Addison's disease. This involves taking medications to replace the hormones that the adrenal glands are not producing enough of, specifically glucocorticoids (such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, or dexamethasone) and mineralocorticoids (such as fludrocortisone). These medications help to maintain normal hormone levels in the body, manage symptoms, and prevent adrenal crises.
Choice C reason: Diuretics are not typically used as a primary treatment for Addison's disease. They are used to manage fluid balance and blood pressure in other conditions, but they do not replace the deficient hormones in Addison's disease.
Choice D reason: Lifelong insulin treatment is used for managing diabetes mellitus, not Addison's disease. Addison's disease involves adrenal hormone deficiencies, which are treated with hormone replacement therapy, not insulin.

Choice A reason: Bleeding is a high-risk complication for patients with pancytopenia because of the low platelet count. Platelets are crucial for blood clotting, and their deficiency leads to an increased risk of spontaneous bleeding and difficulty in stopping bleeding once it starts. This can result in significant blood loss and complications if not managed promptly.
Choice B reason: Infection is another high-risk complication for patients with pancytopenia due to the low white blood cell count. White blood cells are essential for fighting infections, and their deficiency makes patients more susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. These infections can be severe and difficult to control, leading to further complications and increased morbidity.
Choice C reason: Seizures are not typically associated with pancytopenia. Seizures are more commonly linked to neurological conditions, electrolyte imbalances, or other underlying medical issues rather than low blood cell counts.
Choice D reason: Neurogenic shock is not a common complication of pancytopenia. Neurogenic shock occurs due to a disruption in the autonomic nervous system, often resulting from spinal cord injuries or severe central nervous system damage, rather than low blood cell counts.
Choice E reason: Pulmonary edema is not directly related to pancytopenia. Pulmonary edema involves fluid accumulation in the lungs, often due to heart failure, kidney disease, or other causes, rather than low blood cell counts.
