Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, if the patient is in comma then patient hardly pass the stool but nursing care managed that one with diaper and it is not the big deal, once the intake of solid food is not there then patient can not pass the normal stool, if the patient is in comma then no need to give laxative, bowel movement is just out of the question for the comatose patient, hope this information helps.
