Question 1 of 5
A client who has a history of constipation asks the nurse how to prevent straining during defecation. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increase intake of fruits and vegetables. This is because fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, which helps to add bulk to the stool and promote regular bowel movements, reducing the need for straining during defecation. Fiber also helps to soften the stool, making it easier to pass. Consuming a low-fiber diet (choice
A) would worsen constipation. Limiting fluid intake (choice
B) can lead to dehydration, which can exacerbate constipation. While taking a warm sitz bath (choice
C) can provide some relief from discomfort, it does not address the root cause of constipation. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables is the most effective way to prevent straining during defecation.
