A universal threshold of 10 μg/g for faecal haemoglobin in isolation may not meet the needs of perioperative nursing care for colorectal cancer in the urgent suspected colorectal cancer pathway
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the appropriateness of a faecal haemoglobin threshold for nursing care in colorectal cancer.
Assessment of faecal haemoglobin standards
Examination of perioperative nursing needs
Comparison with urgent colorectal cancer pathways
The standard threshold of 10 μg/g may not adequately address nursing care needs.
There are implications for urgent patient pathways requiring tailored approaches.
