Question

Maria, a 27-year-old woman in her last trimester of pregnancy (34 weeks), complains to the clinic nurse that she is constipated and feels miserable most of the time. She reports that she has started taking laxatives, but they don't help much. When questioned about her dietary habits, she replies that she eats beans and rice and drinks tea with most meals. She says she has tried to limit her fluid intake so she doesn't have to go to the bathroom so often. What additional information would the nurse need to assess her complaint? What interventions would be appropriate for Maria? What adaptations will Maria need to make to alleviate her constipation?
