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. Administer a broad-spectrum antibiotic. B. Isolate for 24 hr after lesions appear. C. Avoid direct contact. D. Place on airborne precautions.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Administering a broad-spectrum antibiotic is not appropriate for tinea corporis, which is a fungal infection. Antifungal medications are needed.

Choice B rationale

Isolating the client for 24 hours after lesions appear is not necessary, as tinea corporis is not a severe infection requiring isolation.

Choice C rationale

Avoiding direct contact is essential to prevent the spread of the fungal infection.

Choice D rationale

Placing the client on airborne precautions is not needed for tinea corporis, as it is not an airborne infection.
