a nurse is providing preoperative teaching for a client who is scheduled for creation of a sigmoid colostomy. which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Answer 1

This question is incomplete because the options are missing. Here are the options:

A. Expect the effluent from the sigmoid colostomy to be loose and continuous.

B. Use irrigation to help establish a regular bowel pattern.

C. Change the stoma's appliance every other day.

D. Expect effluent from the newly created stoma within 24 hr after surgery.

The information to be included by the nurse in teaching is Use irrigation to help establish a regular bowel pattern (option B)

A colostomy is a surgical procedure characterized by

• Being an opening in the belly (abdominal wall) that is made during surgery
• Work as an alternative when a problem is causing the colon to not work properly
• Pass one end of the colon (large intestine) through this opening in the skin to form a stoma.
• Be an alternative for a short time about 3 to 6 months.

After this procedure, the nurses may tell the patient that irrigation is a way to control the passage of stool. Therefore, the nurse will advise the patient to use this method so that the patient establishes a regular bowel pattern (option B)
