| Article/Chapter Title: | Bowel symptoms: Constipation, diarrhea, and obstruction |
| Abstract: | Constipation, diarrhea, and malignant bowel obstruction are highly prevalent and distressful symptoms in advanced illness. The palliative advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) plays a vital role in assessing, treating, educating, and supporting patients and families with a high symptom burden from bowel dysfunction, throughout the disease trajectory. Bowel symptoms do not occur in isolation from other symptoms, and proper management requires a global understanding of the patient's experience.
