Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Following abdominal perineal resection, a colostomy should begin to function within 72 hours after surgery, although it may take up to 5 days. The nurse should monitor for a return of peristalsis by listening for bowel sounds and checking for the passage of flatus. Absent bowel sounds indicate that peristalsis has not returned. The client would remain NPO until bowel sounds return and the colostomy is functioning. Bloody drainage is not expected from a colostomy.

Answer to Question 2

__________ drops per minute
