Question 1 of 5

A patient with a hip fracture is having difficulty defecating into a bedpan while lying in bed. Which action by the nurse will assist the patient in having a successful bowel movement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Rationale: Answer B is correct because raising the head of the bed promotes a more upright position, which helps facilitate bowel movements by utilizing gravity. This position allows for better alignment of the intestines, making it easier for the patient to defecate. Withholding narcotic pain medication (
A) may alleviate constipation but is not the most appropriate initial intervention. Administering laxatives (
C) may help with bowel movement but should not be the first choice. Preparing for a barium enema (
D) is unnecessary in this scenario as it is an invasive procedure and not indicated for constipation.
