SOLVED2574

A 65-year-old patient has been diagnosed with cirrhosis. What screening tool will the healthcare provider use to both stage the cirrhosis and determine medication dosage? Once the diagnosis of cirrhosis is confirmed, several additional tools may be implemented to evaluate the severity of cirrhosis. Historically the CTP score has been used not only to stage cirrhosis but also as a tool to determine the need for medication dosage adjustment. The MELD and MELD-Na are tools used to assess the severity of end-stage liver failure, predict 3-month mortality, and prioritizing patients for liver transplant. The CAGE questionnaire is a series of four questions that can be used to check for signs of possible alcohol dependency. Page Number and Header: 541-542, Cirrhosis Learning Objective: 1
