A nurse is caring for a client who has diarrhea due to shigella. Which of the following precautions should the nurse implement for this client?

A nurse is assessing a client’s readiness to learn about insulin self-administration. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is ready to learn?

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who suffers from chronic constipation. The nurse asks questions to evaluate whether the client uses laxatives to manage this condition. Which of the following best describes the rationale for this action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chronic laxative use, especially if misused (e.g., over-reliance or improper dosing), can lead to a condition known as laxative dependency, where the bowel becomes less responsive to normal stimuli, worsening constipation over time. Option B (magnesium buildup leading to diarrhea) is a potential side effect of certain laxatives but doesn’t explain evaluating their use in constipation. Option C (rectal sphincter damage) is unlikely with standard laxative use. Option D (replacing fiber intake) is a mischaracterization—laxatives supplement, not replace, dietary interventions like fiber.

A nurse working in a long-term care facility is assessing residents at risk for the development of a pressure injury. Which resident would be most at risk?
