Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A A high-residue diet would be implemented instead of a low-residue diet.
B Fluid intake would be increased with constipation, not restricted.
C Stool softeners are administered to the terminally ill patient who is experiencing constipation.
D Skin needs protection from breakdown when the patient is experiencing diarrhea, not constipation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Receptivity is defined as the ability to tolerate and accept experiences that are uncertain, unfamiliar, or paradoxical. Passivity is the ability to stop unnecessary goal-directed and analytical activity. Focusing is the ability to identify, differentiate, maintain attention on, and return attention to simple stimuli for an extended period. Mindfulness is not a cognitive skill needed in relaxation therapy.
