Ambulate client 3 times in first hour with pillow held at abdomen. - Answer
✓✓Evaluate vital signs q10 to 20 minutes for 2 hours after procedure.
Vital signs should be checked every 10 to 20 minutes to assess for bleeding after
biopsy of the liver, which is highly vascular. The client should be positioned on the
right side with a pillow or sandbag under the costal margin and supporting the
biopsy site. The client should be maintained on bedrest for several hours to
decrease the risk of bleeding from the biopsy site.
A client with cirrhosis of the liver asks the registered nurse (RN) to explain how
varicose veins can occur in the esophagus. Which statement should the RN provide
to teach the client about the physiological etiology?
The enlarged liver presses on the lower half of the esophagus which weakens
blood vessel walls.
Abnormal vessels form as a result of liver damage that causes chronic low serum
protein levels.
Esophageal swelling and tissue damage causes blood to circulate blood back
through the stomach.
Increased portal pressure causes blood flow through liver to be shunted to the
esophageal vessels. - Answer ✓✓Increased portal pressure causes blood flow
through liver to be shunted to the esophageal vessels.
Cirrhotic and fibrosed liver damage causes obstructed blood flow through portal
vessels to the liver which increases the portal pressure causing the blood flow
through the liver to be shunted to the esophageal vessels. The result of this
shunting of blood causes the esophageal vessels (veins) to balloon out and weaken.
