Aclient with a 20-year history of excessive alcohol use is admitted to the hospital with jaundice and ascites. a priority nursing action during the first 48 hours after the client's admission is to do what?

I believe the answer is "Monitor vital signs"

out of the choices i'd say d the ability to set goals, mainly because to desire to continue you need motivation but it isn't motivation in that part, but setting goals means you have an endgame and you want to reach it which sums up motivation.
