A woman age 76 years has informed the nurse that she has begun using over-the-counter laxatives because her friend told her it w

as imperative to have at least one bowel movement daily. How should the nurse best respond to this client's statement?
A-"Actually, people's bowel patterns can vary a lot and some people don't tend to go every day."
B-"Your friend is correct in her assessment, but it would likely be better to exercise and drink more instead of using medications."
C-"Most older adults only have a bowel movement every 2 to 3 days, actually, so I'd encourage you to taper off your laxatives."
D-"That's correct, but be sure that you don't increase your laxative doses over time."

Answer:

<em>The best respond to this client's statement is actually, people's bowel patterns can vary a lot and some people do not tend to go every day. </em>

<em>LETTER A</em>

Explanation:

<em>Because the abusive use of laxative can be dangerous to her bowel.  The laxatives will make her bowel slower and totally dependent on the drug. Meaning, she will only go if she takes laxatives, because organically her body will be used to work only by taken the medication.</em>

<em>She should try to eat more fibers and drink more water so that her bowel process becomes easier, natural and frequent.</em>
