Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new colostomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when demonstrating how to change the ostomy appliance?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Trace the size of stoma onto the skin barrier. This is crucial as it ensures a proper fit of the ostomy appliance, preventing leaks and skin irritation. By tracing the stoma's size, the nurse can accurately cut the opening in the skin barrier to match the stoma, providing a snug and secure fit. This step is essential for maintaining skin integrity and maximizing comfort for the client.

A: Applying skin sealant on damp skin is not necessary for changing the ostomy appliance and may interfere with proper adhesion.
B: Removing the appliance before emptying the pouch is incorrect as it can lead to unnecessary exposure of the stoma to potential irritants.
C: Ensuring slightly damp skin for better adhesion is not recommended as it may affect the seal and adherence of the ostomy appliance.
