Which of the following statements by a client with spinal cord injury indicates a need for further teaching by the nurse regarding bowel management?

  • A. "I should avoid eating foods that produce gas."?
  • B. "I should drink more fluids like water and non-caffeinated fruit juices."?
  • C. "I should set a regular schedule for bowel movements."?
  • D. "I should sit in an upright position for bowel movements."?
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The corrected statement indicates the need for further teaching because it suggests consuming fluids like fruit juices, which can include caffeinated options that may stimulate fluid loss through increased urination. It is more appropriate to emphasize the consumption of fluids like water and non-caffeinated fruit juices for proper hydration. Choices A, C, and D demonstrate a correct understanding of bowel management by focusing on dietary considerations, establishing a regular bowel movement schedule, and using proper positioning during bowel movements. Option B is incorrect as it may lead to increased fluid loss due to caffeine content in some fruit juices.
