Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The appropriate amount of fluid to prepare for an enema to be given to an average-size school-age child is 300 to 500 mL. An infant should receive 150 to 250 mL, a toddler should re-ceive 250 to 350 mL, and an adolescent should receive 500 to 750 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Disorders of calcium metabolism contribute to difficulty with the passage of stools. The nurse should implement measures to prevent constipation in clients with hypocalcemia. Gastric upset, malabsorption, and fluid secretion are not caused by hypocalcemia.
