Question 1 of 5
A laxative has been ordered for a client. The nurse checks the client's medical history and would be concerned if which condition is present?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Abdominal pain of unknown origin. This is concerning because giving a laxative to a client with unknown abdominal pain can potentially worsen an underlying condition or cause complications. High ammonia levels (

B) and chronic constipation (
D) are conditions that may actually benefit from a laxative, so they are not as concerning.
