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.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is "{\"xRanges\":[53.828125,93.828125],\"yRanges\":[164,204]}"

A. The stoma from a transverse colon resection with colostomy placement is typically located in the right iliac fossa, which is the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. This is where the transverse colon is most often brought to the surface for colostomy placement. It allows for easier access and drainage postoperatively.

B. The epigastric area, which is located above the umbilicus, is not a typical location for a colostomy stoma. This area is more commonly associated with upper abdominal organs such as the stomach and liver.

C. The left iliac fossa is generally where a descending or sigmoid colostomy would be placed, rather than a transverse colon resection. This location would be expected for colostomies created from the descending colon, not the transverse colon.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Avocado allergies are linked to latex allergies, not propofol.
B. Strawberry allergies are associated with latex sensitivity, not propofol.
C. Shellfish allergies are commonly linked to iodine contrast reactions, not propofol.
D. Propofol contains egg lecithin and soybean oil, so clients with egg or soy allergies may be at risk for an allergic reaction.

A. Eating a strict vegetarian diet B. Using a nicotine transdermal patch C. Taking amlodipine for hypertension D. A history of herpes zoster

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A strict vegetarian diet does not typically trigger Raynaud's disease. However, the nurse should assess for any nutritional deficiencies that could impact overall health.

B. Nicotine use, including from a transdermal patch, is a well-known trigger for Raynaud's disease. Nicotine causes vasoconstriction, which can worsen the symptoms of Raynaud's by limiting blood flow to the extremities.

C. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension, and it can actually help relax blood vessels and improve circulation. It is not a trigger for Raynaud's disease and may even be beneficial in managing the condition.

D. A history of herpes zoster (shingles) is not typically associated with exacerbations of Raynaud's disease. While herpes zoster can cause nerve pain and complications, it does not directly affect the blood vessels in the way that triggers for Raynaud's do.
