Question

a nurse is assisting with the admission of a client who has fulminant hepatic failure. which of the following procedures should the nurse expect for this client?
endoscopic sclerotherapy
liver lobectomy
liver transplant
transjugular intrahepatic portal - systemic shunt placement

Explanation:

Fulminant hepatic failure is a severe and rapid-onset liver failure. For such cases, a liver transplant is often the definitive treatment as the liver is severely damaged and unable to function. Endoscopic sclerotherapy is for varices (often in cirrhosis, not fulminant failure). Liver lobectomy is for localized liver issues like tumors, not widespread failure. Transjugular intrahepatic portal - systemic shunt (TIPS) is for portal hypertension management, not for fulminant hepatic failure.

Answer:

C. Liver transplant
