Question 1 of 5.

A client hospitalized with cirrhosis has developed abdominal ascites. The nurse should provide the client with snacks that provide additional:

Explanation: Ascites in cirrhosis is linked to hypoalbuminemia; increasing protein intake helps restore albumin levels, reducing fluid accumulation.

A. Ignore the client's behavior.

B. Exchange the cards for a checker board.

C. Send the other clients to their rooms.
