Answer to Question 1

D
The location of an ostomy determines stool consistency. The more intestine remaining, the more formed and normal the stool.

Answer to Question 2

B
Always place the stethoscope directly on the skin because clothing obscures the sound. Position the diaphragm to make a tight seal against the patient's skin. Exert enough pressure on the diaphragm to leave a temporary red ring on the patient's skin when the diaphragm is removed.
