The nursing assessment identified an imbalanced nutrition diagnosis related to inadequate diet and impaired metabolism secondary to liver cirrhosis, as evidenced by weakness, fatigue, and iron deficiency anemia. The nursing plan was to provide interventions over 3 days aimed at meeting nutritional requirements, including taking a nutritional history, restricting sodium intake, promoting intake of vitamins/minerals, elevating the head of the bed during meals, promoting an appropriate cirrhosis diet, giving small frequent meals, providing oral hygiene before meals, encouraging multivitamins, and consulting a dietician if needed. The expected outcome was that after 3 days of nursing interventions, the patient's energy level and nutritional status would improve with no body weakness.
