Question 1 of 5
The nurse knows the fecal output will be more solid from a stoma created from which area of the bowel?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: sigmoid colon. Stoma output consistency depends on the location of the stoma along the gastrointestinal tract. The sigmoid colon is the site where water absorption occurs, resulting in more solid fecal output. Stomas created from the transverse colon (
A) and ascending colon (
B) are more likely to produce liquid output due to less water reabsorption. The ileum (
C) is responsible for absorption of nutrients and electrolytes, so a stoma from this area would produce liquid output. Thus, the sigmoid colon is the most likely site to produce more solid fecal output.
