Clients are usually instructed to drink a specific volume over a period of time, not hourly, and follow the directions on the specific PEG preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. &#8220;Expect bowel movements to begin 3 hr following completion of solution&#8221;:<\/strong> This is not accurate as bowel movements usually begin within 1 to 2 hours after starting the PEG solution, not necessarily 3 hours after completion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. &#8220;To prevent dehydration, drink an additional liter of fluid during preparation time&#8221;:<\/strong> This is accurate. It\u2019s important to stay hydrated while using PEG because the solution can lead to significant fluid loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. &#8220;Abdominal bloating might occur&#8221;:<\/strong> While abdominal bloating can be a side effect, it is not a primary instruction to include when preparing the client. It is more relevant to reassure the client about possible side effects rather than instruct them on managing this specific symptom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, <strong>C<\/strong> is the best answer as it addresses the need to prevent dehydration, which is a crucial aspect of the preparation process with PEG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is providing instructions about bowel cleansing with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution (PEG) for a client who is going to have a colonoscopy.
