Older adults are more likely to use laxatives with regularity. In advising an older adult practicing this habit, the nurse would identify which of the following factors? Select all that apply.
 
  a. Consistent use of laxatives inhibits natural defecation reflexes, and is thought to cause rather that cure constipation.
  b. Habitual use of laxatives may lead to the need for ever-increasing dosages until the intestine fails to work properly.
  c. Laxatives may interfere with fluid and electrolyte balance.
  d. Laxatives increase the absorption of certain vitamins.
