Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Patients should be taught to avoid or at least decrease use of coffee, cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages. There is no need to avoid exercise, milk, or synthetic fabrics.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The receptors in the external sphincter adapt relatively quickly and will stretch and require more and more distention to stimulate the reflex if the reflex is ignored. This will not lead to bowel incontinence and is more likely to result in constipation from prolonged water absorption than diarrhea. Nutrients are not absorbed from the colon.
