His mother states that this has been occurring for the past 8 months. She brought him into the clinic because she thinks he might have an intestinal infection. She also reports that once a ,week he has very large bowel movements that completely clog the toilet. What more does the APRN need to know about Russell’s bowel problems? What type of diagnostic testing should the APRN order? What treatment plan should the APRN prescribe and what is the rationale for this treatment? Include dosages and administration instructions if appropriate.
