Justin Jones' Follow Up

Overview

Think back to meeting Justin Jones from Module 5. He was admitted after a motorcycle accident. He had surgery for fracture reduction on his legs and now has casts on both legs and one arm. For the past three days, he has been receiving narcotic analgesics for severe pain.

Administer laxative or stool softener, as prescribed
Administer enema
Remove stool manually
Encourage increased fluid intake, including warm liquids; instruct on and encourage a high-fiber diet
