Coworkers Reporting Powerful Bowel Movements

Published

At our facility, we've had a few bowel obstructions.  As such, we've all become hyper aware of bowel movements.  One thing I've noted is that some will chart "Resident had a powerful bowel movement" I'm not sure, but don't recall being taught in nursing school to document a bowel movement as being "powerful."  What are your thoughts on this? Does this make sense or does it make us sound uneducated when we document lime this?
