In this article two algorithms are suggested for use by district nurses in the management of constipation in dependent older people at home. Prescribing for this group of patients requires a complex assessment of medical and social factors as 24-hour supervision is not always available and local health and social service resources may impact on the level of care that is available in terms of the provision of food and drink and the taking of medicines.
本文提出了两种算法，供社区护士用于在家中护理失能老年人便秘的管理。对这类患者进行处方开具需要对医疗和社会因素进行综合评估，因为并非总能提供24小时监护，而且当地的卫生和社会服务资源可能会影响在饮食供应和药物服用方面所能提供的护理水平。
