A client is 22 weeks pregnant with her first child. Her weight gain is normal, but she complains of constipation. What's the most effective recommendation the nurse can make ？（）
A．"Take a mild laxative daily. "
B．"Increase intake of fluids and high-fiber foods. "
C．"Relax when trying to move the bowels. "
D．"Start a strenuous exercise program. "
参考答案：B
解析：
Increased fluids and fiber will soften the stool, making it easier to pass without medication use. Taking a laxative makes the client rely on medication. Relaxing during bowel movements is important but doesn't address the problem as effectively as increasing fluids and fiber. Starting a strenuous exercise program is discouraged during pregnancy unless the client is already accustomed to it. Mild exercise is safe, however, and may increase peristalsis and enhance stool passage.
