Awoman age 76 years has informed the nurse that she has begun using over-the-counter laxatives because her friend told her it was imperative to have at least one bowel movement daily. how should the nurse best respond to this client's statement?

a-"actually, people's bowel patterns can vary a lot and some people don't tend to go every day."
b-"your friend is correct in her assessment, but it would likely be better to exercise and drink more instead of using medications."
c-"most older adults only have a bowel movement every 2 to 3 days, actually, so i'd encourage you to taper off your laxatives."
d-"that's correct, but be sure that you don't increase your laxative doses over time."
