Answer to Question 1

B
Nursing students may be required to sign confidentiality agreements, prior to their clinical placement, with the health care agency. Students need to understand the practice standards and laws around confidentiality.
When nurses and other health care professionals have a legitimate reason to use records for data gathering, research, or continuing education, they obtain appropriate authorization according to agency policy. Nursing students and faculty may be required to present identification indicating authorized access to the client record. Providing specific facility identification may be required for the student to access records.
Reviewing medical records is subject to agency policy.
Obtaining permission from the client to access her medical records is not an appropriate action.

Answer to Question 2

A
Enema applicators should never be used in the stoma because they can cause damage. A special coned irrigation device is used for ostomies. Irrigating a stoma into the toilet is an effective management technique. Fingers and other objects should not be placed into the stoma because they may cause trauma to the intestinal wall. Warm tap water will reduce cramping during irrigation.
