What are substances used to loosen stools and increase bowel movements, typically to treat constipation?

Job Description
Laxatives
Living Will
Log Roll

The correct answer is: Laxatives

The correct answer is laxatives because they are specifically designed to facilitate bowel movements by softening the stool or stimulating the intestines. This makes them an effective treatment for constipation, helping individuals achieve regularity and relieve discomfort associated with difficult bowel movements. In this context, a job description refers to the responsibilities and tasks associated with a particular role, which is unrelated to bowel health. A living will is a legal document related to a person's wishes regarding medical treatment in the event they are unable to communicate their preferences, having no direct connection to digestive health. Log roll is a technique often used in patient care to move individuals safely, particularly those with spinal injuries, but it also does not pertain to the treatment of constipation or stool management.
