What is the main goal of a bowel program?

  1. Preventing brain stem disorders.

  2. Training the body for regular bowel movements.

  3. Controlling body temperature fluctuations.

  4. Promoting mental well-being through regular exercise.

The correct answer is: Training the body for regular bowel movements.

The main goal of a bowel program is to train the body for regular bowel movements. This program is essential for individuals who have difficulty with normal bowel function, such as those with spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions. By establishing a routine and optimizing bowel function, individuals can prevent complications such as constipation, impaction, or incontinence. It helps maintain bowel health and overall comfort for the individual. The other options - preventing brain stem disorders, controlling body temperature fluctuations, and promoting mental well-being through regular exercise - are not directly related to the main goal of a bowel program.
