Correct Answer is ["50"]

Explanation

To calculate the flow rate in gtt/min, the total volume (400 mL) should be divided by the total time in minutes (8 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 480 minutes). This gives the mL/min.

Then, multiply the mL/min by the drop factor (60 gtt/mL) to get the gtt/min. So, the calculation would be (400 mL / 480 min) x 60 gtt/mL = 50 gtt/min.

Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 50 gtt/min.

A. "Daily bowel movements are necessary for good intestinal health." B. "Decrease your intake of high-fiber foods." C. "Chronic use of laxatives can lead to a tear in the rectal mucosa." D. "Excessive laxative use can cause rectal burning, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance."

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D Excessive use of bisacodyl or other laxatives can indeed cause these adverse effects. Rectal burning can occur due to irritation from frequent bowel movements, while dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can result from fluid loss caused by frequent laxative use.

A. While regular bowel movements are important for many individuals, daily bowel movements are not necessary for everyone and can vary depending on diet, hydration, and individual health conditions.

B. Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative used for short-term relief of constipation. It does not interact with dietary fiber intake, nor should the client necessarily decrease high-fiber foods unless specifically advised by their healthcare provider for other reasons.

C. Chronic use of bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative, can indeed lead to dependence and potentially harmful effects on the body's water and salt balance
