To alleviate constipation, a patient should:

  1. Decrease fluid intake

  2. Limit physical activity

  3. Increase fiber intake

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Increase fiber intake

Increasing fiber intake is the best option for alleviating constipation because fiber helps to add bulk to stool and absorbs water, making it easier to pass through the digestive system. Decreasing fluid intake can actually worsen constipation, as adequate hydration is important for maintaining regular bowel movements. Limiting physical activity can also contribute to constipation, as exercise helps to stimulate the digestive system and promote regular bowel movements. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect choices for alleviating constipation.
