Here is a small management plan for constipation. Though some of us consider it as frivolous matter, it could have result in lot of repercussions in patient’s health.  Nursing management of patient with constipation:-  

-         asses the general condition of patient -         provide privacy -         provide squatting position -         Provide fiber rich food including fruits vegetables etc. -         provide adequate food -         maintain a habit of  expulsion in a fixed time -         provide a relaxed environment -         give him small exercise -         avoid certain drugs like sedatives -         give him plenty of fluids-         give laxatives or suppository/enema as per order of doctor  

Thanks nurses, don’t ever ignore a patient complaining of constipation. Do what you can do best in a conventional way. If you can’t manage it, report it to doctor.
