Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Yearly screenings, including a fecal occult blood test, should be done on all clients over the age of 50. A flexible endoscopic exam should be done every 5 years. A family history of colorectal cancer increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
If the stoma is found to be prolapsed, the surgeon must be notified immediately. The stoma should be pink and remain on the abdominal surface. The mucosal tissue is fragile, so a small amount of bleeding may be normal.
