A caregiver asks:

Dear Nurse Dina,
Any ideas on managing bowel movements?

Hi Dina,

My wife is six years down with dementia. Doing pretty good.

Now bowel habits are a problem. It has been difficult to keep up with tracking bowel movements. At this moment I am not sure whether or not sure she has had a BM for two or three days. Any suggestion would be appreciated,

Sam
