Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with liver failure may have an increased risk of bleeding due to decreased clotting factors, so using a soft-bristled toothbrush can help prevent gum bleeding and injury. Drinking plenty of clear fluids may be recommended, but it is not directly related to injury prevention. Taking aspirin can further increase the risk of bleeding and should be avoided unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider. Moderate exercise may be beneficial, but the type and duration should be recommended by the healthcare provider as some types of exercise may increase the risk of injury.
