Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The normal frequency of bowel movements varies widely among individuals, from two or three per day to as few as one per week.
Rationale 2: A diagnosis of constipation includes lumpy or hard stools at least 25 of the time.
Rationale 3: People vary in the frequency of bowel movements, and clients often define constipation as a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements.
Rationale 4: The normal frequency of bowel movements varies widely among individuals, from two or three per day to as few as one per week.
Global Rationale: A diagnosis of chronic constipation includes at least two of the following symptoms without the use of laxatives over the course of a year: two or fewer bowel movements per week; lumpy or hard stools at least 25 of the time; straining to pass stools at least 25 of the time; and a feeling of incomplete evacuation at least 25 of the time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Famotidine is not a proton pump inhibitor.
Rationale 2: Ranitidine is not a proton pump inhibitor.
Rationale 3: Lansoprazole is available in a liquid suspension.
Rationale 4: Esomeprazole is not offered in a liquid formulation.
Global Rationale: The only proton pump inhibitor listed that is available in liquid form is lansoprazole. Famotidine and ranitidine are not PPIs. Esomeprazole is not offered in a liquid form.
