Question 1 of 5
The nurse explains the action of laxatives as doing what?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increasing GI motility and promoting bowel movements. Laxatives work by stimulating the muscles in the intestines to increase movement, helping to move stool through the colon and promoting bowel movements. This helps relieve constipation by softening the stool and making it easier to pass.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because laxatives do not prevent incontinence, reduce inflammation in the intestinal lining, or suppress the immune response. It is essential to understand the mechanism of action of laxatives to provide effective patient education and care.
