Title: What goal would be applicable for a client who is experiencing diarrhea? 1. Client will defecate ... Post by: jompau on Jan 18, 2018 Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Defecating regularly once the diarrhea has subsided can be a goal, but it is too soon for this goal. The problem needs to be corrected first. Rationale 2: Increasing the amount of sugar in the diet will just add to the diarrhea. Rationale 3: Since the client is experiencing diarrhea, which can dehydrate the client and promote electrolyte loss, limiting fluid would not be appropriate. Rationale 4: Since this client is experiencing diarrhea, the goal would be to regain normal stool consistency which would be less water in the stool and more formed consistency. |
