Answer to Question 1

B
The major advantage of the Kock pouch is that the patient does not have to wear a collection de-vice. The feces are collected in the pouch and emptied by the patient inserting a catheter into the pouch every 3 or 4 hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
Helping the patient adjust to the new ostomy is one of the highest priorities in the immediate postoperative period. In the immediate postoperative period, the pouch should not be changed any more than is necessary to avoid trauma to the skin. A stool softener is not indicated since stools are usually softer and more watery when coming from a stoma. Diet advancement is a gradual process that must coordinate with returning bowel function, and the patient may be NPO for a short time while bowl motility returns.
