Question 3 of 5
Your patient had an ileostomy placed 2 weeks ago. Which bowel pattern would be expected for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An ileostomy involves the diversion of the ileum (small intestine) to an external stoma, resulting in frequent, liquid output because the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms stool, is bypassed. Two weeks post-surgery, the output typically occurs every 2-3 hours as the small intestine adapts, though it may vary with diet and fluid intake. Continuous output (A) might occur initially but not typically after adaptation. Once per day (B) mimics normal bowel patterns, not ileostomy. Continent, controlled output (D) applies to procedures like a continent ileostomy (e.g., Kock pouch), not a standard ileostomy.
