How can you prevent constipation?

Answer 1

Educational Options for Nurses Registered nurses (RNs) care for patients, provide support to patients' families and assist doctors in medical procedures. Like doctors, RNs typically specialize in areas such as ambulatory care, critical care, hospice or palliative care, pediatrics or surgery. Additional education can lead to further specialization opportunities, as well as management and administration options. Students pursuing careers as registered nurses can earn an associate degree from a nursing program or complete a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. A Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is also available. Registered nurses may also choose to pursue accelerated RN-to-BSN or RN-to-MSN programs.

Answer 2

Consume dietary fiber and sufficient water

To prevent constipation, the primary requirement is sufficient water intake so that the large intestine does not scavenge water from the stools. Secondly, eating a moderate amount of dietary fiber will provide bulk that retains its moisture level. You can get fiber from fruit and from whole grain foods. (Raisin bran contains both.) Fiber supplements are available in soluble or pill form.

Avoid chemical laxatives, because the digestive system may become dependent upon them for proper functioning. Alkaloids, magnesia, and polyethylene solutions (Miralax) will prompt bowel movement but can also induce diarrhea. Mineral oil, another venerable treatment, can leak from the anal opening if overused. Stool softeners may provide relief from chronic constipation on a temporary basis.

*Once constipation occurs, the suggested remedies are suppositories or enemas, because a laxative could cause more pressure on the obstructed colon.
