Performing a digital rectal examination is not a measure to relieve constipation, as it is an invasive procedure and may cause discomfort or pain to the resident. The other options (A, B, and C) are effective measures to relieve constipation, as they increase fluid intake, promote mobility, and provide natural laxatives.
