Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the factors that contribute to constipation. Common factors include immobility, low fluid intake, low fiber intake, and use of certain medications such as opioids.
Evaluate each client's situation based on these factors. Consider how each factor might affect bowel movements and the risk of constipation.
Analyze the bedridden client on opioid pain medication. Opioids can slow down bowel movements, and immobility can further contribute to constipation risk.
Consider the client on a high-fiber diet. Fiber helps to increase stool bulk and promote regular bowel movements, reducing constipation risk.
Assess the client who drinks plenty of water and exercises regularly. Both hydration and physical activity are known to support healthy bowel function and reduce constipation risk.
