Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Increase the client's fluid intake
Rationale:
Clients on bedrest are at increased risk for constipation due to reduced physical activity and slowed peristalsis. One of the most effective ways to manage constipation is by increasing fluid intake, which helps soften stool and promote bowel movements. Fluids, especially warm or room-temperature water, help maintain normal bowel function by preventing stool from becoming hard and difficult to pass.
