摘要：
Constipation is one of the most common problems in patients receiving palliative care, often having a profound effect on their quality of life. Its management has a significant impact on healthcare provision in terms of cost and nursing time. Nurses are well placed to assess and manage constipation and this article seeks to aid in the decision-making process. The causes, assessment and management of constipation, from prophylaxis to new pharmacological developments, will be explored in a pragmatic approach.
