Normally, a nurse is justified in independently identifying and documenting a bowel Incontinence as a diagnosis related to an impaired elimination.

What is a bowel Incontinence?

It is also called a Fecal incontinence. it means a patient's inability to control bowel movements thereby causing the stool (feces) to leak unexpectedly from the rectum.

This incontinence is a NANDA-I-approved nursing diagnosis under the domain of Elimination. Factors such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and small bowel obstruction are medical diagnoses but a bowel Incontinence is different.

Hence, the nurse is justified in independently identifying and documenting a bowel Incontinence as a diagnosis related to an impaired elimination.
