A client has just had surgery to create an ileostomy. The nurse assesses the client
in the

immediate postoperative period for which most frequent complication of this
type of surgery?



1. Folate deficiency

2. Malabsorption of fat

3. Intestinal obstruction

4. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance - ANSWERS-4. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance



Rationale: A frequent complication that occurs following ileostomy is fluid and
electrolyte imbalance. The client requires constant

,monitoring of intake and output to prevent this from occurring. Losses require
replacement by intravenous infusion until the client can

tolerate a diet orally. Intestinal obstruction is a less frequent complication. Fat
malabsorption and folate deficiency are complications

that could occur later in the postoperative period.



The nurse is doing preoperative teaching with a client who is about to undergo
creation of a

Kock pouch. The nurse interprets that the client has the best understanding of the
nature of the

surgery if the client makes which statement?



1. "I will be able to pass stool by the rectum eventually."

2. "The drainage from this type of ostomy will be formed."

3. "I will need to drain the pouch regularly with a catheter."

4. "I will need to wear a drainage bag for the rest of my life." - ANSWERS-3. "I will
need to drain the pouch regularly with a catheter."



Rationale: A Kock pouch is a continent ileostomy. As the ileostomy begins to
function, the client drains it every 3 to 4 hours and then

decreases the draining to about three times a day, or as needed when full. The
client does not need to wear a drainage bag but should

wear an absorbent dressing to absorb mucous drainage from the stoma.
Ileostomy drainage is liquid. The client would be able to pass

, stool from the rectum only if an ileal-anal pouch or anastomosis were created.
This type of operation is a two-stage procedure.



The nurse is monitoring a client for the early signs and symptoms of dumping
syndrome. Which

findings indicate this occurrence?



1. Sweating and pallor

2. Bradycardia and indigestion

3. Double vision and chest pain

4. Abdominal cramping and pain - ANSWERS-1. Sweating and pallor



Rationale: Early manifestations of dumping syndrome occur 5 to 30 minutes after
eating. Symptoms include vertigo, tachycardia,

syncope, sweating, pallor, palpitations, and the desire to lie down.



A client is admitted to the hospital with viral hepatitis, complaining of "no
appetite" and

"losing my taste for food." What instruction should the nurse give the client to
provide

adequate nutrition?



1. Select foods high in fat.
