What is the act or process of eating or being fed?

A mass of dry hard stool that remains packed in the rectum and cannot be expelled.
Solid body waste excreted through the anus from the large intestine.
Gas generated in the stomach or bowels.
An upright panel forming the foot of a bed.

The correct answer is: Gas generated in the stomach or bowels.

The act or process of eating or being fed is commonly referred to as "ingestion" or "feeding." While the gas generated in the stomach or bowels is a result of digestion, it does not encompass the actual act of eating. The correct answer focuses on the function of dietary intake. The other choices deal with different bodily functions. Dry hard stool refers to constipation and indicates an obstruction in bodily waste elimination. Solid body waste is related to excretion and does not address the process of eating. An upright panel at the foot of a bed describes furniture and is unrelated to the eating process. Understanding these definitions can enhance comprehension of the various aspects of care that are essential in a CNA's role.
