Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to receive a client from surgery following a transverse colon resection with colostomy placement. The nurse should expect to assess the stoma at which of the following locations? (You will find hot spots to select in the artwork below. Select only the hot spot that corresponds to your answer.)
Correct Answer:
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B
Rationale: The correct location to assess the stoma following a transverse colon resection with colostomy placement is at location B, which is in the left lower quadrant. This is because the transverse colon is typically located in the upper abdomen, and the stoma would be brought out at the most dependent portion of the colon, which is in the left lower quadrant. Assessing the stoma in this location allows the nurse to monitor for proper stoma function and potential complications.
Summary:
A: Incorrect - Location A is in the right upper quadrant, which is not the typical site for a stoma following a transverse colon resection.
C: Incorrect - Location C is in the left upper quadrant, which is also not the typical site for a stoma after this surgery.
D, E, F, G: Not applicable as they are not relevant to the question.
