The car Frank was driving swerved off the road into the median, where the car’s front end hit a highway bridge. Frank is treated for minor injuries, and several lab tests are ordered. Frank’s blood alcohol level (BAL) is .20% (0.20%), and his liver enzymes are elevated. Assessment findings include lethargy, an enlarged liver on palpation, jaundiced skin and sclera, and ascites. Frank is admitted for further evaluation with a medical diagnosis of cirrhosis.
