Answer:

Nursing priorities for constipation related to immobility may include encouraging the patient to move as much as possible and increasing fluid and fiber intake. Assisting the patient to a bedside commode after a meal to attempt a bowel movement may also be helpful. Administering stool softeners, laxatives, suppositories or enemas as ordered by a physician may also be necessary.
