Question

a client with ______ is at the greatest risk of fecal impaction.
required
a high blood pressure
b chronic constipation
c diabetes

Explanation:

Fecal impaction occurs when hard, dry stool accumulates in the rectum and cannot be passed. Chronic constipation is a condition where a person has infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools. Over time, this can lead to the formation of a large mass of stool in the colon and rectum, which is fecal impaction. High blood pressure (a circulatory system issue) and diabetes (a metabolic disorder) do not directly cause fecal impaction like chronic constipation (a gastrointestinal - related condition) does.

Answer:

B. chronic constipation
