Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bulk-forming laxatives increase mass and water content of the stool, promoting evacuation. Mixing the bulk-forming laxative with applesauce will not provide the needed fluid, and the applesauce can have a binding effect. It is not necessary to mix milk of magnesia with Metamucil. The patient should not decrease roughage in the diet or eat rice, which is binding.

Answer to Question 2

D
