Question 2
During the physical assessment, the nurse asks an elderly female patient if she experiences constipation. The nurse knows that
1. Elderly patients almost always abuse laxatives, which creates problems with constipation.
2. Aging patients always have difficulty having a bowel movement while hospitalized.
3. In elderly patients, the rectal sphincter has lost elasticity, which decreases the sensation of urgency.
4. It is common for intestinal peristalsis to slow down as a person ages, causing problems with constipation.
