    After reviewing the patient's history, conducting a physical assessment, and identifying potential contributing factors, the nurse will implement interventions to address the patient's constipation. Interventions include increasing fluid intake, encouraging a high-fiber diet, and discussing laxatives or enemas if needed. The goal is for the patient to regain normal bowel function within 8 hours, as evidenced by softer, more frequent stools and active bowel sounds. Regular exercise, sufficient fluid intake, and fiber are important to prevent constipation. Medications and lack of activity are common causes that will be evaluated.
