Mr. Moser is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver. He is 59 years old and has been hospitalized several times for his condition. He has shortness of breath as a result of a swollen and enlarged abdomen, is anemic because of minimal but constant esophageal bleeding, and appears jaundiced. He has severe abrasions on his arms, legs, and abdomen from repeated scratching to relieve his pruritus. Mr. Moser is very depressed and will not converse with you when you enter the room with his breakfast tray on the first morning you are assigned to his care. He refuses to eat and indicates his attitude by pushing the tray away and turning on his side to face the wall. 1. What nursing measures might help relieve some of Mr. Moser's problems
