Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal for a client experiencing diarrhea should be for them to regain normal stool consistency. This indicates that the diarrhea has resolved and the client is returning to their normal bowel function. Defecating regularly may not necessarily mean that the diarrhea has resolved, and increasing sugar or limiting fluid intake are not appropriate actions for managing diarrhea.
