a. encourage the patient to drink at least 3000 ml of fluid a day. b. inform the patient that a daily bowel movement is not necessary. c. perform a focused nursing assessment to identify risk factors for constipation. d. suggest that the patient increase dietary intake of foods that are high in fiber.
