Constipation is a subject that many people might feel uncomfortable speaking about, but this abnormality could have undesirable side effects. Brunner and Suddarth defines constipation as, “an abnormal infrequency or irregularity of defecation, abnormal hardening of stools that make their passage difficult and sometimes painful, a decrease in stool volume, or retention of stool in the rectum for a prolonged period often with a sense of incomplete evacuation after defecation” (Smeltzer, Bare, Hinkle, & Cheever, 2010, 1068). Parents do not usually consider the importance of monitoring the bowel habits of their children unless the child in very young and still in diapers. Because of the complications and discomfort associated with constipation, it is important as the nurse to not only educate the parents on the signs and symptoms of constipation, but also to attempt to involve the child in managing or reversing the constipation.

The cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown and there is no proof that the disease is caused by an infection.
