Question 1 of 5
Before administering a laxative to a bedfast client, it is most important for the nurse to perform which assessment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Determine the frequency and consistency of bowel movements. This assessment is crucial before administering a laxative to ensure the appropriateness of the intervention. Knowing the client's bowel movement pattern helps prevent overuse or misuse of laxatives. Assessing the frequency and consistency of bowel movements also helps in monitoring the effectiveness of the laxative.
Choice A is incorrect because assessing the client's strength in moving and turning is not directly related to the administration of a laxative.
Choice C is not the most important assessment as skin integrity is important but not the priority before administering a laxative.
Choice D is not directly related to the effectiveness or safety of the laxative.
