Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice B rationale

Passing of flatus indicates that the gastrointestinal tract is functioning, which is an important sign after colostomy surgery.

Choice A rationale

A pinkish-red stoma indicates good blood supply, but does not confirm colostomy functionality alone.

Choice C rationale

Absent bowel sounds could indicate a potential postoperative ileus, which is a concern rather than a positive sign.

Choice D rationale

Tolerating a clear liquid diet indicates some gastrointestinal function but is not specific to colostomy functionality.

A. "I will perform breast exams the day my period begins.”. B. "I will perform breast exams every other month.”. C. "It is common for the skin on my breasts to dimple.”. D. "It is common for one breast to be larger than the other.”.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Performing breast exams on the first day of the menstrual cycle is not recommended because hormonal fluctuations can affect breast tissue.

Choice B rationale

Breast self-examinations should be performed monthly, not every other month, to detect any changes in breast tissue.

Choice C rationale

Skin dimpling on the breast can be a sign of breast cancer and should not be considered common. It requires medical evaluation.

Choice D rationale

It is normal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other, and this variation is common among women.
