    I Think It Is Stimulant Laxative Constipation

    Uploaded by

    Mark Lyndon
    Mr. Feet, an 84-year-old man experiencing back pain and constipation, likely has functional constipation due to his limited activity level from back pain and use of pain medication, which can cause constipation. A stimulant laxative may help relieve his constipation by stimulating bowel movements, though lifestyle changes are also recommended, such as eating more fiber, drinking water, and exercising regularly. A teaching plan outlines discussing constipation, its causes, and prevention through diet and lifestyle modifications to help Mr. Feet understand and address his constipation issues.

    Why do you think Mr. Feet may have constipation?

    -Mr. Feet may have constipation because as mentioned above Constipation can be
    categorized into 3 different types. Functional constipation, which is related to diet,
    hydration and level activity. Slow-transit constipation is caused by decreased motility in
    gastrointestinal track. Pelvic floor dysfunction is associated with the inability to control
    the muscles of the anal sphincter. In the case of Mr. Feet with an age of 84 years old
    and currently experiencing a back pain that prevents him from doing his daily activities.
    We can now identify that functional constipation related to level of activity is one of the
    cause of constipation of Mr. Feet. Plus the drug Co-dydramol that the physician
    prescribed for him 10 days ago for his back pain that can cause constipation. 

    - What sort of laxative do you think Mrs. Feet has been taking? Is this
    sort of laxative suitable for Mr. Feet? Explain your answer.
    - I think it is Stimulant laxative it can be used to treat constipation. They can be one of
    the faster acting types of laxative. Stimulant laxatives work by stimulating intestinal
    motility and secretion of water into the bowel. Stimulant laxatives generally take 6 to 12
    hours to take effect and may cause abdominal cramping and diarrhea. I think Stimulant
    laxative may help Mr. Feet from his constipation as Stimulant laxatives work, for many
    people, as an effective treatment for constipation. These laxatives function by causing
    the intestinal muscles to rhythmically contract and help push out, or “stimulate” a bowel
    movement. 

    - What lifestyle changes would you recommend Mr. Feet should take?
    Create a teaching plan that would address your intended lifestyle
    modification for Mr. Feet.
    -Mr. Feet is already has an aged, he might not able to continue a healthy life with a
    constipation. He should start change his lifestyle eat healthy foods and exercise.
