What is normal bowel habits?

I know this is not something we sit and talk about over a cuppa but how different are your bowel habits to some one else? Do you know? Have you thought about it?

Therefore what is normal bowel habits for people in your care? Are you trying to regulate someone to what you consider normal bowel habits for you which may be abnormal for the person.

Maybe this should be a question that is asked in more depth when a person enters your facility so that you don't give them laxatives when they don't need them.

Next I will talk about when laxatives should be given.
