Answer to Question 1

3. Low blood pressure

Rationale:
Severe hypotension, known as first-dose phenomenon, can occur after the initial administration of enalapril. Ototoxicity is an adverse effect of loop diuretics. Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a serious rash, and an irregular pulse are adverse effects of beta-blockers.

Answer to Question 2

2. Increase fluid intake.

Rationale:
Increasing the fluid intake helps to flush out sediment and mucus and prevents clogging of the stoma. The appliance should be changed every 5 to 7 days. Every day changing is unnecessary. A deep pink, shiny stoma is normal and does not require the notification of the physician. Strands of mucus, not blood, may appear in urine because of the mucus-producing cells of the ileum.
