Answer to Question 1

C
C. Keep peristomal skin dry. Determine if client has an allergy to barrier and adhesive or an infection.
A. If there is no urinary output for several hours or output is less than 30 ml/hr, and if urine has foul odor, obtain urine specimen for culture and sensitivity to test for possible infection.
B. Assess for presence of yeast infection around stoma, which causes itching, burning; appears as reddened area with maculopapular rash. Notify physician. Apply medicated cream if ordered.
D. Determine if client has an allergy to barrier and adhesive or an infection. Remeasure stoma before each change to ensure best fit of pouch. Change size of pouch opening as needed to protect skin.

Answer to Question 2

D
Hair appliances and jewelry anywhere on the body may become dislodged and cause injury during positioning and intubation. Navel rings probably would not impede assessment or decrease circulation. Due to the risk of injury if left in place, allowing the patient to leave the ring in place is not an option.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
