Pre Diagnosis Simon and his partner recently received via mail the National Bowel screening kits as they have recently turned 60 and 55 respectively. They had also seen the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program TV advertisement while watching the nightly news bulletin. Simon and Jane were surprised by how easy it was to complete the faecal test. Jane remarked to Simon the day after the test ¦.I am not at all worried about the results¦ it is not as if any of us have a family member who has bowel cancer¦.. ¢ The pathology RN visits Simon at 0800 and takes blood for a Full Blood Examination as per the Enhanced Recovery Pathway. Simon is assisted to the shower by Warren the ward RN. Simon is a little unsteady on his feet when standing out of bed for the first time. Simon’s perineal wound is washed under the shower, painted with betadine and kept clean and dry with pads and disposable pants after the shower. He sits out of bed for a short time whilst Warren makes his bed. Warren provides Simon with a foam cushion for comfort when sitting as this will assist in relieving pressure from his perineal wound. Simon returns back to bed after his shower as he feels utterly exhausted¦. Simon tolerates sitting out in a chair for lunch and later for dinner. He tolerates a light breakfast and he is enjoying his supplemental drink twice a day. Simon’s IVT is ceased at lunch time as he is tolerating small amounts of diet and fluids however Simons FBC continues.
