Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increase water intake and use bulk-forming laxatives. This is because increasing water intake helps soften stool, making it easier to pass, and bulk-forming laxatives add bulk to stool, aiding in bowel movements for individuals with IBS-C. Stimulant laxatives (
A) can lead to dependency and worsen symptoms. Avoiding fiber-rich foods (
B) can exacerbate constipation. Eating a low-carbohydrate diet (
D) may not directly address the constipation associated with IBS-C.
