A nurse is teaching parents about diarrhea.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching parents about diarrhea. Which statement by the parents indicates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased motility results in impaired absorption of fluid and nutrients. This statement indicates understanding because increased motility in the intestines can lead to diarrhea by moving food too quickly through the digestive tract, resulting in impaired absorption of fluid and nutrients. This leads to watery stools and electrolyte imbalances.
Choice A is incorrect as organisms do not destroy intestinal mucosal cells to cause diarrhea.
Choice B is incorrect as malabsorption typically leads to metabolic acidosis, not alkalosis.
Choice D is incorrect as diarrhea usually results from an excess of fluid, not a deficit, in the intestines.
