Bowel assessment is a daily nursing responsibility that includes auscultating bowel sounds in all four quadrants, monitoring stool frequency and characteristics, and assessing for abdominal distension and tenderness. Nurses must recognize signs of bowel obstruction including absent bowel sounds, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal distension, as well as signs of gastrointestinal bleeding such as melena or hematochezia. Post-surgical patients require careful bowel function monitoring, as return of bowel sounds and passage of flatus indicate recovery of peristalsis.
