Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Inactivity and changes in diet and fluid intake can contribute to constipation. A nutritional diet high in fiber and bulk-forming foods can promote normal elimination. Increasing fluids to 8 to 10 glasses per day will be beneficial in preventing constipation. A daily bowel routine will also benefit elimination.

Feedback:
The major role of nurses is that of caregiver for the reason stated. The other roles are important, but they are less frequently called for or exercised.
