Answer to Question 1

B
Negative effects of immobility on the gastrointestinal system include decreased appetite, stress ulcers, constipation, and fecal impaction.

1. Risk for Infection

A client with diabetes mellitus is at risk for infection. No other information is given in the question to risk for falls, ineffective tissue perfusion, or impaired tissue integrity as potential nursing diagnoses.
