Lower gastrointestinal disorders refer to conditions that affect the colon, rectum, and anus. These disorders can cause a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding, and changes in bowel habits. It is important for nurses to be able to identify these disorders and provide appropriate interventions to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients. One common lower gastrointestinal disorder is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the lining of the digestive tract. The exact cause of IBD is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals. Diagnostic tests for IBD may include blood tests, stool samples, imaging studies such as CT scans or MRI scans, and endoscopic procedures like colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. Assessment findings for patients with IBD may include abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody), weight loss, fatigue, and signs of malnutrition.
