ATI OSTOMY CARE ( UPDATED 2024 )COMPLETE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (SOLVED) 100% CORRECT
1. An ostomy is an opening: surgically created in the abdominal wall to allow forthe
elimination of urine or feces.
2. Ostomy surgery is performed: when a disorder or an injury keeps the urinaryor
gastrointestinal system from functioning properly.
3. Indications for ostomy surgery include:: congenital anomaliesbladder, colon, and rectal
cancer
inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)inherited disorders such as
familial adenomatous polyposis obstruction of the ureter
stab or gunshot wounds to the abdomen
4. Depending on the disorder or injury, the ostomy may be temporary, to allow for healing and a
return to normal elimination, or permanent. The three primary types of ostomy surgery are::
colostomy
ileostomyurostomy
5. The surgically-created opening in the skin of the abdomen is called a: stoma.A stoma is the
communicating end of the bladder or bowel that is brought to the surface of the abdomen. The
location of the stoma depends upon the location of thepatient's beltline, the location of any
scars and skin folds, where the damage is, andthe type of ostomy surgery performed. The
stoma should be shiny, wet, and red in color, similar to the mucous membranes of the mouth.
A stoma can be round, oval,or irregular in shape, and either protruding, flush with the skin, or
retracted.
6. A colostomy is created from the end of the large intestine to divert wastefrom the digestive
system. Three different colostomy types can be formed from the gastrointestinal tract:: 1. End
( Hartmans pouch)
2. Loop
3. Double barrel
7. With an end colostomy, t:
1. the damaged section of the bowel is removed andthe working end is brought through the
abdomen to the skin surface.
2. When a colostomy is intended to be permanent, an end stoma is typically created.
3. A temporary colostomy may be performed to allow bowel rest or healing, such asfollowing
tumor resection.
8. A common temporary colostomy surgery involves: leaving the distal portionof the colon in
place, which is oversewn for closure to create what is known as a Hartmann's pouch.
Anastomosis of the severed portions of the colon may be delayedfor several reasons, including
, bowel inflammation or tumor location.
9. With a loop colostomy,: a loop of the bowel is brought through the abdomen to the skin
surface and temporarily supported by a plastic bridge or rod. A transverse loop colostomy is
typically created as an emergency procedure to relieve an
intestinal obstruction or perforation. A communicating wall remains between the proximal and
the distal bowel. It has two openings through the one stoma - the proximal end drains stool
while the distal portion drains mucus. The bridge can be removed in 7 to 10 days. Transverse
loop colostomies are typically temporary.
10. With a double-barrel colostomy,: Two separate stomas are created. Both ends of the bowel
are brought through the abdomen to the skin surface as two separate sections. Typically the
distal colon is not removed but bypassed. The proximal stoma, which is functional, diverts feces
to the abdominal wall. The distal stoma, or mucousfistula, expels mucus from the distal colon.
11. Depending on the area of disease or injury and other physical features of the patient's
abdomen, a colostomy is placed in one of the following fourlocations:: 1. Ascending colon
2. Transvers colon
3. Descending Colon
4. Sigmoid Colon.
13. Ascending colon (right abdomen).: The output is typically liquid to semi-liquidand is very
irritating to the surrounding skin.
14. Transverse colon (mid-abdomen). This location is used for a temporary ostomy, with the
stoma constructed as a loop. Output is liquid to semi-formed.-
: output- liquid to semiformed
15. Descending colon (left upper abdomen).: The output is semi-formed becausemore water is
absorbed while fecal material is in the ascending and transverse colon.
16. Sigmoid colon (left lower abdomen). T: his is the location for a permanentcolostomy,
particularly for cancer of the rectum. The stoma is typically located onthe lower left quadrant
of the abdomen, and the output is formed.
17. An ileostomy is a surgical opening created in the ileum to bypass the entirelarge intestine. A
procedure used to treat colon cancer and ulcerative colitis,total proctocolectomy, involves
surgical removal of the entire colon, rectum,and anus, with closure of the anus, resulting in the
need for stool diversion.:
18. As part of the total proctocolectomy procedure,: 1. The end of the terminalileum is
brought out through the abdominal wall, forming a permanent ileostomy.
2. After this type of ileostomy surgery, the patient has no voluntary control of bowel
movements.
