Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The client is likely to be better able to evacuate her bowels if the normal position for toileting is obtained. Placing the client in the Fowler's position simulates this normal toileting position, and would not be contraindicated by the medical diagnosis. The other positions are not optimal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The fluid should be administered over 10-15 minutes, not 30 minutes. The remaining actions are correct.
