Question 2 of 5
A client has a history of an inconsistent fecal elimination pattern. What should the nurse instruct this client to improve this health problem?
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the client to include more whole grains in their diet and increase water intake to improve an inconsistent fecal elimination pattern.

D) are not a long-term solution and may disrupt normal bowel function.
