Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: For regular elimination, six to eight glasses of water should be consumed daily.
Rationale 2: Increasing the consumption of spicy foods and sugar will cause diarrhea, which is not a normal fecal pattern.
Rationale 3: Eating more whole grains will increase fiber in the diet, which increases bulk and volume.
Rationale 4: The constant use of enemas and laxatives will promote dependence.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The drainage pouches are expensive, and they can be used for up to a week before being changed. Just daily rinsing and cleaning is necessary.
Rationale 2: No special clothing has to be worn with a colostomy pouch. The client can wear the same clothes he or she wore prior to the surgery.
Rationale 3: If a pin is stuck into the pouch, a hole will be left and it will cause leakage, which is not recommended.
Rationale 4: The skin around a stoma is very susceptible to irritation and breakdown. To avoid skin irritation, the faceplate to the drainage pouch needs to fit close enough to the stoma so as not to expose any other skin.
