When administering bulk-forming laxatives to an individual, it should be mixed in at least

  1. 4 ounces

  2. 8 ounces

  3. 12 ounces

  4. 16 ounces

The correct answer is: 8 ounces

When administering bulk-forming laxatives to an individual, it should be mixed in at least 8 ounces of liquid. This is to ensure that the laxative is properly diluted and can work effectively in promoting bowel movements without causing discomfort or irritation. Mixing it in a sufficient amount of liquid also helps prevent issues such as choking or difficulty swallowing the medication. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not meet the recommended minimum liquid requirement for mixing bulk-forming laxatives, which could potentially lead to inadequate medication effectiveness or difficulty in administration.
