Controversy surrounds the manual evacuation of faeces by nurses, and many are confused about their professional and legal responsibilities when asked to undertake this procedure. The argument that it is a well established and successful procedure is supported by many professionals, but there is very little documented evidence of its effectiveness as a method of bowel management.
