Patients receiving end-of-life and palliative care often need help to manage their bowel care. Although several policies on palliative care have been introduced in recent years, there is a lack of guidance specifically on bowel management for patients approaching death. This article highlights the gaps in guidance, and discusses how nurses can alleviate patients' distress and best preserve, their dignity while managing their bowel care.
接受临终关怀和姑息治疗的患者通常需要帮助来管理肠道护理。尽管近年来出台了几项关于姑息治疗的政策，但对于临近死亡的患者，在肠道管理方面缺乏具体的指导。本文强调了指导方面的差距，并讨论了护士在管理患者肠道护理时如何减轻患者的痛苦并最大程度地维护其尊严。
