Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The statement “What did your health care provider tell you about your need for this hospitalization?” creates a barrier to communication because it assumes that the patient has been informed by their healthcare provider about their hospitalization.
However, this may not be the case and can lead to misunderstandings or miscommunications.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
When assessing bowel elimination, the factors to be considered are: Age, use of laxatives or other bowel medications, dietary habits and fluid intake, history of bowel diseases or surgeries. Gender does not have an influence on bowel movements.
Geriatrics often have slowed bowel movements compared to the young.
Diet high in fiber usually enhances bowel movement.
Increased fluid intake improves stool consistency.
