Answer to Question 1

B
Cascara sagrada bark, senna, and ginger root are herbs that have been found helpful in relieving constipation. Mineral oil should not be taken regularly or used as a laxative because it reduces the absorption of fat soluble vitamins and if accidentally aspirated into the lungs, can result in a lipoid pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

3. Teach family to speak softly and minimize touching
4. Keep the room dark and quiet

Rationale:
A dark quiet room is important to reduce stimuli. Family members should be encouraged to talk to the client in a soft voice with minimal touching. Visitors should be limited but not completely disallowed. Care should be provided throughout the day for short periods of time to limit extended stress and stimulation. Elevating the head of the bed is important to reducing intracranial pressure but has no effect on stimulation.
