A 42-year-old patient is newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The patient asks, "Can this be cured?" Which of the following treatment goals are appropriate for a patient with IBD? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A rationale
While having extra pillows can help with comfort, it does not address the primary safety concern associated with ascites, which is the risk of falls due to altered center of gravity and balance.

Choice B rationale
The advice about undergarments is not a safety precaution but rather a comfort consideration. It is less critical than ensuring the client's safety while ambulating.

Choice C rationale
This is the correct choice because it directly addresses a significant safety risk for the client. Ascites can greatly affect balance, increasing the risk of falls, which can lead to serious injury, especially in older adults.

Choice D rationale
While exercise is important, this statement is overly restrictive and not accurate. Clients with ascites can often still engage in exercise, albeit modified, to accommodate their condition and under medical supervision.

Choice A rationale
Jaundice of the sclera is indicative of hyperbilirubinemia, which can occur in various liver diseases but is not specifically associated with Grey Turner's sign or pancreatitis.

Choice B rationale
Bluish discoloration of the periumbilical area, known as Cullen's sign, is another indicator of severe pancreatitis but is distinct from Grey Turner's sign, which specifically refers to the flank area.

Choice C rationale
Left abdominal pain that occurs with movement may be a symptom experienced by patients with pancreatitis, but it is not referred to as Grey Turner's sign, which is a physical finding rather than a symptom.

Choice D rationale
Grey Turner's sign is characterized by bluish discoloration of the flank area. It is a sign of retroperitoneal hemorrhage, which can occur in severe cases of pancreatitis due to the spread of pancreatic enzymes to surrounding tissues, leading to localized bleeding.
