Prioritization

Constipation due to insufficient fiber intake is prioritized as the number one problem because it is an actual issue being experienced by the client that interferes with their normal bowel elimination pattern. The risk for injury due to muscle weakness and hypotension from hypokalemia is ranked second as it represents a potential problem that could lead to further harm for the patient if not addressed.
