A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hr postpartum and has a third-degree perineal laceration.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medications should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Bisacodyl 10 mg rectal suppository. Bisacodyl is indicated for immediate relief of constipation as a rectal suppository. It acts directly on the colon to stimulate peristalsis and promote bowel movement. The rectal route ensures faster onset of action compared to oral medications, making it suitable for a patient needing immediate relief. Magnesium hydroxide (
B) is a laxative taken orally, which may not provide quick relief. Famotidine (
C) is for acid reflux, not constipation. Loperamide (
D) is an antidiarrheal agent, not appropriate for constipation.
