Myrna Cook is a 54-year-old woman who presents to the ED
complaining of increasing abdominal cramping for several days.
Her last bowel movement was 6 days ago. She began “not feeling
well” 4 days ago, with some mild chills, bloating, decreased appetite,
and fatigue. She reports no fever, N/V, CP, or SOB. She reports that
yesterday, when her cramping was at its worst, she used magnesium
citrate, Miralax, and Fleet enema but still had no bowel movement.
She states that she typically has daily bowel movements, with no
straining, and spends less than 10 minutes, with little effort, having
a bowel movement. She reports having a similar episode approxi-
mately 1 year ago; however, at that time her symptoms responded
to magnesium citrate and Miralax. She does not use stool softeners
