Answer to Question 1

B
When stool reaches the rectum, distension causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and aware-ness of the need to defecate. Establishing a consistent time for bowel hygiene is one evi-denced-based practice to avoid constipation. Ignoring the urge to defecate and not taking time to defecate completely are common causes of constipation.

Answer to Question 2

C
A 6-year-old child averages 11 to 12 hours of sleep nightly. Encouraging quiet activities usually persuades the 6- or 7-year-old child to go to bed.
