What is fecal texture?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I was charting a BM in our computerized charting & it asks me (from a drop-down menu) what the "texture" of the BM was. There were options like hard, soft, liquid, etc. One of the options for texture was "fecal." Can anyone describe what a fecal-textured BM is :lol2: Gotta love computer charting!

I. Cannot. Stop. Laughing.... oh bless us and keep us....

ROFL! :yeah:

We actually had this as part of our electronic charting! No one, kept a straight face in our EMAR class when this, uh, "menu" was being explained.

It was changed to a less descriptive set of options a bit later on without explanation...
