Question 1 of 5
A nurse is implementing a bowel training program for a client. For the program to be effective, the nurse should take the client to the toilet at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D - When the client has the urge to defecate
Rationale: Taking the client to the toilet when they have the urge to defecate aligns with the principles of bowel training, which aim to establish regular bowel habits. By encouraging the client to respond to their body's natural signals, the nurse helps promote independence and self-awareness in managing bowel movements. This approach reinforces the mind-body connection and helps prevent constipation or accidents. It also supports the client's dignity and autonomy in the process.
Summary of other choices:
A: Immediately before a meal may not coincide with the client's natural bowel rhythm.
B: Waiting for abdominal cramping is reactive and may lead to discomfort or accidents.
C: Every 2 hours is arbitrary and may not align with the client's individual bowel patterns.
E, F, G:
Choices are not provided, but they would likely be incorrect as they do not address the client's physiological signals for defecation.
