A patient is in the late stages of liver failure with cirrhosis and progressive, irreversible damage. Knowing this, the nurse explains to the family that:
1. Liver transplantation is the only feasible treatment.
2. Abstinence from alcohol may decrease further liver cell injury and improve portal hypertension.
3. The liver is the only organ affected so that the patient and family need not worry about other body systems.
4. If the patient does not have any variceal hemorrhages he will probably live for years.
