  • fecal material reaches rectum
  • stretch receptors initiate contraction of sigmoid colon/rectal muscles
  • internal anal sphincter relaxes
  • sensory impulse cause voluntary “bearing down”
  • external sphincter relaxes

21
Q

Sociocultural factors

A
  • stress has major influence
  • can cause diarrhea or constipation
  • stress is primary risk factor in development of irritable bowel syndrome
22
Q

Nutrition/hydration

A
  • regular intake of food promotes peristalsis
  • regular intake schedule
  • irregular scheduled = irregularity
  • high fiber
  • fluid intake
23
Q

Activity

A
  • can stimulate peristalsis
  • sedentary people have weaker abdominal muscles
  • patients with limited activity often experience constipation
24
Q

Medications

A
  • all oral medications have the potential to affect function of the GI tract
25
Q

Surgery and procedures

A
  • bowel manipulation can lead to a paralytic ileus
  • NG tube on low or intermittent suction
26
Q

Pregnancy

A
  • morning sickness
  • slowing of intensional motility
  • risk of hemorrhoids
27
Q

Pathological conditions

A
  • neurological disorders that affect innervation of lower GI tract
  • cognitive conditions that limit the ability to sense “the urge”
  • pain or immobility that leads to sluggish peristalsis
28
Q

Planning outcomes/ evaluation

A
  • the general overall is for the patient to have soft, formed, regular bowel movements
  • and to be free nausea, vomiting, bloating
29
Q

Promoting regular defecation
