Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Changes in lifestyle that will be helpful to eliminate constipation cycles include increased dietary fiber, increased fluids, moderate exercise, and elimination of laxative use. It is also important to encourage patients to respond to the urge to move bowels when the urge first occurs, since delay may promote constipation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Wound irrigations promote wound healing by removing debris from a wound surface, decreasing bacterial counts, and loosening and removing eschar. The primary purposes of wound irrigation do not include decreasing scar formation, improving circulation, or decreasing irritation.
