curious if a patient can be on 5 or 6 laxatives at a one time period

I am a new nursing student, and haven't had clinicals in a actual hospital yet, but am curious if a patient can be on 5 or 6 laxatives at a one time period. Thanks!
I'm curious as to why you ask?

Can you elaborate?

Yes, I am curious because a cousin of mines told me once that when she was at the hopsital she used to receive a lot of laxatives about 4 or 5 of them at a one time period and I was just curious. Is it possible that a patient can receive 5 laxatives at 9:00 a.m. or anytime is scheduled/ordered. Thanks!
