Answer to Question 1

colostomy
An opening in the large intestine or colon is a colostomy, and the fecal effluent will vary in consistency depending on where the opening in the colon is surgically created.

Answer to Question 2

35 C to 36.1 C (95 F to 97 F)
Mean oral temperature for older adults often ranges from 35 C to 36.1 C (95 F to 97 F); therefore, temperatures considered within the normal range sometimes reflect a fever in the older adult.
