Bristol Stool Chart & Urine Colour Chart ID Badge Flash Card

Comprehensive Assessment Tool for Healthcare Professionals
This durable, double-sided ID badge card serves as a vital clinical reference for evaluating patient hydration, digestive health, and overall wellbeing. Combining the Bristol Stool Chart and Urine Colour Chart, it empowers healthcare providers with critical insights to identify early signs of underlying medical conditions and guide appropriate interventions.
Bristol Stool Chart
The Bristol Stool Chart categorizes stools into seven distinct types, ranging from hard, lumpy stools (Type 1) indicative of severe constipation to watery, loose stools (Type 7) associated with diarrhoea. Understanding stool consistency and frequency aids in:
• Diagnosing Digestive Disorders: Provides critical indicators for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and infections.
• Monitoring Diet and Medication Effects: Helps track the impact of dietary changes, hydration, or medications like laxatives.
• Identifying Red Flags: Persistent abnormalities, such as pale, fatty stools (steatorrhea), may indicate issues like malabsorption or liver disease.

Urine Colour Chart
Urine color offers a simple, visual guide to assess hydration status and detect potential health concerns:
• Hydration Levels: Light-colored urine suggests proper hydration, while darker shades may signal dehydration.
• Medical Indicators: Abnormal hues can point to serious issues, such as:
o Brownish Urine: Possible liver dysfunction or bile presence.
o Pink/Red Tints: Potential hematuria (blood in urine), requiring further evaluation.
o Foamy Urine: May indicate excessive protein, suggesting kidney disease.
• Medication or Diet Effects: Some colors are influenced by food dyes, medications, or supplements, which can be clarified using this chart.

Key Features
• Durable & Waterproof: 100% plastic with a scratch-resistant finish for everyday clinical use.
• Compact & Accessible: Credit card-sized (54mm x 86mm), fitting easily into badge holders or lanyards.
• Dual-Sided Design: Features detailed, color-coded charts for stool and urine assessment.
• Portable Utility: Ideal for field use by paramedics, hospital rounds by nurses, or classroom study by medical students.

Applications in Clinical Practice
1. Primary Care & Emergency Settings: Enables rapid triage and identification of concerning symptoms.
2. Chronic Condition Monitoring: Aids patients with conditions like renal disease, IBS, or hepatic disorders in managing their symptoms.
3. Pediatrics and Geriatrics: Especially useful for vulnerable populations prone to dehydration or bowel irregularities.
4. Patient Communication Tool: Simplifies complex medical discussions, fostering patient understanding and adherence.
