Which client diagnosed with bowel obstruction demonstrates appropriate adherence to preventative measures?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
A-55-year-old has been eating a high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains regularly.
Rationale:
🟫 High fiber increases stool bulk, preventing constipation—major risk for obstruction.
🟫 Fiber promotes regular bowel movements and prevents stool stasis.
🟫 Diet of fruits/vegetables improves gut motility.
🟫 Consistent intake reduces risk of diverticulosis and obstruction.
🟫 Evidence-based recommendation for bowel health maintenance.
Restaurant foods/snacking
🟫 Likely low fiber; increases constipation risk.
🟫 Not a preventative lifestyle.
Sedentary lifestyle
🟫 Immobility slows peristalsis.
🟫 Strong risk factor for obstruction.
Frequent laxatives
🟫 Causes bowel dependency and worsens motility long-term.
🟫 Increases obstruction risk due to atony.
