Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client. The nurse informs the client that straining while defecating can cause which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Bradycardia. Straining while defecating can lead to increased vagal nerve stimulation, causing a reflex response of the heart rate decreasing, known as bradycardia. This response is common in older adults due to decreased physiological reserve. Bradycardia is a potential risk, especially for those with cardiac conditions.
Incorrect choices:
B: Gastric ulcer - Straining during defecation does not directly cause gastric ulcers.
C: Diarrhea - Straining is not associated with causing diarrhea.
D: Dilated pupils - Straining during defecation does not lead to dilated pupils.
