Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client tells the nurse that he takes laxatives every day but is still constipated. The nurse's response is based on which reasoning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. When a client is taking laxatives daily but remains constipated, it indicates tolerance to the current laxative. Switching to a laxative with a different mechanism of action is necessary to address the issue. Enemas (choice
A) are invasive and not the first-line treatment for chronic constipation. Habitual laxative use (choice
B) can indeed lead to chronic constipation, but in this case, the client is already experiencing constipation despite daily laxative use. Chronic constipation (choice
D) should always be addressed and not disregarded.
