Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Inadequate fluid intake causes fluid to be withdrawn from the stool for the body's fluid needs, making the stool dry and hard. There is less mucus in the bowel from age-related changes and diminished mucus production because of decreased fluid. Slowed peristalsis is not related to fluid intake. Lumen of the bowel does not constrict because of smaller bulk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Medications frequently disrupt normal bowel elimination patterns.
