The nurse is caring for a client who just had 1,500 mL of fluid removed during a paracentesis. The client asks the nurse why his belly still feels so big even though that large amount of fluid was removed. Which is the nurse's BEST answer to this client?

▸ "The skin of your belly stretched while you had fluid in your abdomen and it will take a while for your belly to return to its normal size."

▸ "Only a certain amount of fluid can be removed from our abdomen at a time to prevent your body from going into shock."

▸ "Removing that much fluid helps to get rid of the excess fluid. Now the rest of the fluid will drain into your lymphatic system."

▸ "It was important to limit the amount of fluid that was removed to prevent infection from occurring."
