Answer to Question 1

A, B
Physical activity stimulates peristalsis and bowel elimination. Therefore, those with a sedentary lifestyle commonly experience constipation. High-dose calcium therapy also predisposes a patient to constipation. Lactose intolerance and spicy food consumption are associated with a nursing diagnosis of diarrhea, not constipation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Synarthroses joints are immovable joints. The sutures between the cranial bones are considered synarthroses joints. Although these joints have some flexibility in youth to allow for growth, they gradually become rigid and immovable with age. There is no pain associated with synarthroses.
