A)The client with irritable bowel syndrome should be taught to maintain a higher-than-normal fluid intake to maintain hydration. The client's dry patches could be due to a fluid volume deficit but would not necessitate immediate notification. Two liquid stools a day is not excessive for a client with ulcerative colitis, but the client must remember to take in enough fluid to account for these stools as well as the normal fluid needs of the body. Moisturizing the skin is a positive action for this client but does not indicate appropriate understanding of the teaching that is appropriate for this diagnosis.
