Subjective: - recognizes rectal fullness, but reports inability to expel formed stool. - Urgency, inability to delay defecation Self-report of inability to feel rectal fullness
Objectives: - Constant dribbling of soft stool Fecal staining of clothing/ bedding Fecal odor Red perianal skin Inability to recognize/ inattention to urge to defecate Hyperactive bowel sounds At least three loose liquid stools per day
Subjective:
- Change in bowel pattern; unable to pass stool; decreased frequency, decreased volume of stool - Increased abdominal pressure; feeling of rectal fullness/ pressure
- Abdominal pain; pain with defecation; nausea; vomiting; headache; indigestion; generalized fatigue Objective: Hard, formed stool Straining with defecation Hypoactive, hyperactive bowel sounds; borborygmi
- Distended abdomen; abdominal tenderness with/without palpable muscle resistance; palpable rectal Percussed abdominal dullness
Subjective: Abdominal pain Urgency, cramping Objective: Hyperactive bowel sounds At least three loose liquid stools per day Reports involuntary leakage of small volumes of urine Nocturia Objective: Bladder distention High post-void residual volume
- Observed involuntary leakage of small amounts of urine Subjective: Senses need to void (voiding in large amounts)
Objective:
- Loss of urine before reaching toilet; amount of time required to reach toilet exceeds length of time between sensing urge and uncontrolled voiding Subjective Frequency, urgency Hesitancy Dysuria Nocturia (enuresis) Objective: Incontinence Retention Subjective: Reports involuntary leakage of small volumes of urine
Subjective: Expectation of a daily bowel movement Expected passage of stool at the same time every day Overuse of laxatives/ enemas/ suppositories
Subjective: Expresses willingness to enhance urinary elimination Positions self for emptying of bladder Objective: Urine is straw colored/ odorless
- Amount of output/ specific gravity is within normal limits Fluid intake is adequate for daily needs
- Sensation of urgency without voluntary inhibition of bladder contraction - Sensations associated with full bladder(sweating, restlessness, abdominal discomfort) Objective: Predictable pattern of voiding Inability to voluntary inhibit/initiate voiding
- Complete emptying (brain) lesion above sacral micturition center Risk Factors: FUNCTIONAL:
- Irregular defecation habits; inadequate toileting (timeliness, positioning for defecation, privacy)
- Insufficient physical activity; abdominal muscle weakness Recent environmental changes Habitual denial/ ignoring urge to defecate PSYCHOLOGICAL: Emotional stress, depression, mental confusion PHYSIOLOGICAL
- Change in usual foods/ eating patterns; insufficient fiber/fluid intake, dehydration; poor eating habits - Inadequate dentition or oral hygiene - Decreased motility of gastrointestinal tract - PHARMACOLOGICAL - Phenothiazides, NSAIDS, sedatives, aluminumcontaining antacids, laxative overuse, bismuth salts, iron salts, anticholinergics, anti-depressants, calcium carbonate, diuretics, sympathomimetics, opiates - MECHANICAL - Hemorrhoids;pregnancy;obesity - Rectal abcess/ulcer; rectal anal stricture/fissures; rectal prolapse; rectocele - Prostate enlargement; post-surgical obstruction - Neurological impairment; hirschsprungs disease; tumor - Electrolyte imbalance - Risk factors: - Effects of medications/caffeine/ alcohol - Detrusor hyperreflexia(fr. Cystitis, urethritis, tumors, renal calculi, CNS disorders above pontine micturition center) - Impaired bladder contractility; involuntary sphincter relaxation - Ineffective toileting habits - Small bladder capacity
