Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Primary constipation results from lifestyle factors such as insufficient fluid intake, inadequate intake of fiber, inactivity, or ignoring the urge to defecate. Fiber intake and exercise promote relief from constipation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When the catheter becomes plugged with stool or mucus, the nurse should try to rotate the catheter tip inside the stoma to clear the obstruction. The nurse could also try to milk the catheter in order to clear it. However, the nurse or client should not wait longer than 6 hours without obtaining drainage as it could lead to further complications. If all the above actions fail, the nurse should simply remove the catheter, rinse it, and try again. It would be inappropriate to leave the catheter in place overnight.
