Answers
Comfort - correct answers>>A state of physical well-being, pleasure, and absence of pain or stress
Interventions for patients with decreased comfort - correct answers>>Anticipate pain and emotional
stress, collaborate with members of the inter professional team as needed, and implement pain
management measures
Elimation - correct answers>>The excretion of waste from the body by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (as
feces) and by the urinary system (as urine)
Bowel elimination - correct answers>>Occurs as a result of food and fluid intake and ends with passage
of feces (stool) or solid waste products from food into the rectum of the colon
Urinary Elimination - correct answers>>Occurs as a result of multiple kidney processes and ends with the
passage of urine through the urinary tract
Continence - correct answers>>Voluntary control of both bowel and urinary elimination
Incontinence - correct answers>>Lack of bowel or bladder control
Retention - correct answers>>inability to expel stool or excrete urine
Obstipation - correct answers>>Inability to pass stool
Oliguria - correct answers>>Scant urine
Anuria - correct answers>>absence of urine
Aging (when pelvic muscles weaken), neurologic disorders, excessive laxative use, other medication use,
