Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Other sources of information from non-research evidence include: performance improvement and risk management data, international, national and local standards of care, infection control data, benchmarking, clinicians' expertise, and retrospective or concurrent chart reviews. Study with a pre- and post-test design is a research study. The question asked for non-research information.

Answer to Question 2

D
To help patients evacuate contents normally and without discomfort, recommend interventions that stimulate the defecation reflex or increase peristalsis. Helping the patient into an upright sitting position increases pressure on the rectum and facilitates use of intraabdominal muscles. Patients who have had surgery have muscular weakness or mobility limitations and benefit from the use of elevated toilet seats.
