Rationale: In preparing a 52-year-old male patient like Mr. Umali for a barium enema to evaluate acute ulcerative colitis, the nurse can expect that he will be contraindicated with cathartics. Cathartics, which are substances that induce bowel movements, are generally contraindicated in patients being evaluated for acute colitis as they can exacerbate the condition and cause additional discomfort.
