Abstract
British military health professionals are currently deployed in Sierra Leone to provide frontline medical assistance to international health workers caring for people infected with the Ebola virus disease (EVD). The Armed Forces' main effort is to provide support that will give volunteers and local health workers the confidence that they will be supported clinically, should they themselves contract the disease. In this article, the authors discuss, with support of a case study, the importance of basic nursing intervention in this clinical environment, especially when monitoring stool output to determine the stage of illness of an EVD patient.
