    Intestinal obstruction occurs when the intestines become blocked, preventing food, fluids, and gases from passing through normally. This can be caused by hernias, cancer, Crohn's disease, changes in diet or lifestyle, or scar tissue. Symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain and fullness, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Nursing diagnoses for intestinal obstruction include deficient fluid volume, acute pain, ineffective breathing patterns, and anxiety related to the health crisis. The goals are to meet fluid needs, control pain levels, improve breathing effectiveness, and resolve anxiety.
