Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The loop colostomy is a temporary colostomy that allows for complete bowel rest. It can be closed in as short a time as 6 weeks.

The tube feedings allow for rapid absorption of the nutrients in the upper GI tract. The tube feedings are not permanent and will be followed by oral intake of a low-residue, high-protein, high-calorie diet.
