Bowel obstruction is an oncologic emergency that most commonly occurs with cancers
that affect the bowel or abdomen, such as colon, pancreatic, ovarian, hepatic, and
prostate cancers. Clinical management includes parenteral nutrition. Nursing
implications include assessing for nausea and vomiting. Enteral nutrition is not
administered. Pharmacologic treatment may include peristaltic stimulants if the bowel
obstruction is not complete. Bisphosphonates are prescribed for hypercalcemia, not a
bowel obstruction. Bowel sounds are increased prior to the obstruction and diminished
or absent after the obstruction.
