A nurse is replacing the ostomy appliance for a patient whose newly created colostomy is
functioning.
After removing the pouch, which of the following should the nurse do first?
Measure the stroma
Cover the stroma with gauze
Remove the backing on the skin barrier
Cleanse the stoma and the peristomal skin - ANSWER-Cleanse the stoma and the peristomal
skin
,To facilitate the nurse's assessment of the stoma and the peristomal skin, the nurse must
remove any effluent adhering to the area.
A nurse is teaching a patient with a new ileostomy about incorporating preventive strategies at
home.
To prevent excoriation and breakdown of the peristomal skin, the nurse should instruct the
patient to
Apply hydrocortisone cream to the skin when changing the appliance
Empty the pouch when it is no more than half full
Wash the peristomal skin frequently with deodorizing soap and water
Choose a time shortly after a meal for replacing the pouch - ANSWER-Empty the pouch when it
is no more than half full
,Waiting until the pouch is more than half full increases the risk of leakage. Ileostomy effluent is
irritating to peristomal skin, so patients should replace the pouch when it is one third to one half
full.
Patients should avoid the use of soap, especially oil or lotion based soaps. They leave a residue
that can interfere with pouch adhesion and increase the risk of leakage. They should cleanse
the skin and warm tap water. For times when soap is essential and if their provider allows it,
they should only use a mild, pH balanced soap.
A nurse is providing preoperative teaching for an older adult patient who has diverticulitis and
is scheduled for a creation of a double barrel colostomy in the sigmoid colon. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Irrigate both stomas periodically to promote drainage
Tape a dry gauze pad over the distal stoma to collect drainage
Change the proximal stroma's appliance every other day
, Expect liquid to drain from both stomas - ANSWER-Tape a dry gauze pad over the distal stoma
to collect drainage
The distal stoma (also called a mucous fistula) secretes mucus; it does not drain feces. A dry
gauze is usually sufficient.
With a double barrel colostomy, irrigation might not be necessary at all. If it is, it would only
apply to one stoma, not both. Ostomy appliances remain in place for up to 7 days and do not
need to be replaced every other day.
A nurse is providing preoperative teaching for a patient who has colon cancer. The surgeon
informed the patient that his entire large intestine and rectum will be removed. The nurse should
explain the type of ostomy he will have is
a cecostomy a
loop colostomy
an ileostomy a
