Answer to Question 1

C
Provide frequent pauses so the patient can ask questions and express understanding of content. Use short sentences and speak in a slow, low-pitched voice. Effective teaching strategies for older adults may include involvement of a family member or caregiver. Provide frequent, short teaching sessions.

Answer to Question 2

D
If the opening is in the transverse or ascending colon, the effluent will vary from thick liquid to semi-formed stool. A colostomy in the descending or sigmoid colon generally results in a stool similar to that normally passed through the rectum. An opening in the ileal portion of the small intestine is an ileostomy, and the fecal effluent will be watery to thick liquid that will contain some digestive enzymes.
