Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Washing the stoma and surrounding skin with mild soap and water and patting it dry can preserve skin integrity. Another way to protect the skin is to apply barrier substances such as karaya, a plant substance that becomes gelatinous when moistened, and commercial skin preparations around the stoma. Cleaning the stoma with just a dry cotton bandage is not the correct way of preserving skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Scoliosis is a pronounced lateral curvature of the spine. The normal spine appears in midline with gentle concave and convex curves when viewed from the side. Lordosis is a condition in which the natural lumbar curve of the spine is exaggerated. Kyphosis is an increased curve in the thoracic area.
