description: An important function of the rectum in particular is the temporary storage and excretion of feces, at the moment there is cause to do so. Disrupting the bowel functions can lead to fecal incontinence and constipation.\r\n#### Purpose\r\nInformation on bowel function disorders is important in drawing up the nursing plan and for patient care. Furthermore, information on feces (shape and color) offers additional information on the patient’s health condition. \r\nIn a transfer situation, it offers the ability to anticipate the arrival of the patient and to achieve continuity in healthcare for the patient. This way, material or expertise can be coordinated beforehand, for example.\r\n\r\n#### Evidence Base\r\nThe definitions of the concepts were (partially) taken from the ICF definitions.
