Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The goal of a cleansing enema is to increase peristalsis, which should increase bowel sounds.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The nurse should monitor the client for rectal bleeding after a colonoscopy. The nurse should provide rest and offer food and fluids as allowed. The evening before the procedure, solid foods are avoided and liquids are encouraged. Laxatives are also given before the procedure.
