Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4
In a continent ileostomy an intra-abdominal reservoir is constructed and a nipple valve formed from the terminal ileum before it is brought to the surface of the abdominal wall. Stool collects in the internal pouch; the nipple valve prevents it from leaking through the stoma. A catheter is inserted into the pouch to drain the stool. An ostomy bag does not need to be worn with a continent ileostomy.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5
Raw or cooked seeds, cooked vegetables, and whole grain breads should be avoided on a low-residue diet. Cereals such as corn flakes and desserts such as tapioca are permitted on a low-residue diet.
