Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The client with an ileostomy (temporary or permanent) has an opening into the small intestine. Because feces do not reach the large intestine, water is not absorbed, and the feces will be liquid.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Clients who have chronic constipation and impaction, and those who are incontinent of stool, may benefit from a bowel training program. The purpose of this program is to manipulate factors within the client's control (such as exercise or fluid intake) to produce the elimination of a soft, formed stool at regular intervals without a laxative.
