Question 1 of 5
A client, who is on bedrest after surgery, complains of feeling bloated and having continuous oozing of small amounts of liquid stool. The nurse recognizes this as being symptomatic of which condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Impaction. When a client on bedrest experiences continuous oozing of small amounts of liquid stool and feeling bloated, it indicates impaction, where a large, hardened stool blocks the rectum. This leads to liquid stool leaking around the blockage. Diarrhea (
A) involves frequent and watery stools. Flatus (
B) refers to excessive gas. Overflow (
C) occurs when the rectum is filled beyond capacity with stool, leading to leakage. Impaction (
D) is the most fitting choice as it aligns with the client's symptoms.
