1. You’re caring for Carin who has just had ileostomy surgery. During the first 24 hours post-op, how much drainage can you expect from the ileostomy?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: During the first 24 hours post-op, you can expect about 1500 ml of drainage from the ileostomy.

2. A client with which of the following conditions may be likely to develop rectal cancer?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Adenomatous polyps are a known risk factor for the development of rectal cancer.

3. The client with chronic pancreatitis needs information on dietary modification to manage the health problem. The nurse teaches the client to limit which of the following items in the diet?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The client should limit fat in the diet. The client also should take in small meals, which also will reduce the amount of carbohydrates and protein that the client must digest at any one time. The client does not need to limit water-soluble vitamins in the diet.

4. The client with a colostomy has an order for irrigation of the colostomy. The nurse used which solution for irrigation?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Tap water at body temperature is generally used for colostomy irrigation unless the local water supply is not safe for drinking, in which case bottled water can be used.

5. The nurse is assessing a 71-year-old female client with ulcerative colitis. Which assessment finding related to the family will have the greatest impact on the client's rehabilitation after discharge?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Emotional support from the family is the main need. A special diet doesn't focus on emotional needs. Role expectations don't address the main issue, but emotional support while the client is fulfilling these roles is important. The family's ability to understand the ups and downs of the illness will help them but not the client.
