Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Finding a level of pain control that allows the patient to participate in care and communicate with family is the goal of pain control. Analgesics given before pain becomes intense can keep pain at a moderate level. Completely eradicating pain is not realistic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
To prevent a bowel obstruction from bulk-forming laxatives, the patient must have a fluid intake of at least 2000 mL a day.
