A nurse is teaching a class about medication interactions.The nurse should include that iron preparations should be administered with which of the following?

Choice A rationale

The end of the stoma is typically not painful after the procedure. Pain at the stoma site could indicate complications such as infection or ischemia.

Choice B rationale

A healthy stoma should be pink or red in color. A purple color could indicate compromised blood flow or other complications that require medical attention.

Choice C rationale

The stoma is typically placed in the right lower abdomen to allow for easier management and care, as it is usually associated with the terminal ileum.

Choice D rationale

After an ileostomy, the stool is usually liquid to semi-formed, not solid, because the colon, which absorbs water to solidify stool, is bypassed.

Choice A rationale

Hypothermia is not commonly associated with diarrhea. Diarrhea typically leads to fluid loss and dehydration rather than changes in body temperature.

Choice B rationale

A rigid abdomen is not a typical finding for diarrhea. It may indicate other gastrointestinal issues, such as peritonitis, rather than dehydration caused by diarrhea.

Choice C rationale

Decreased bowel sounds are not typically expected with diarrhea, which often presents with increased bowel sounds due to increased motility.

Choice D rationale

Dehydration is a common finding in clients with diarrhea due to the excessive loss of fluids and electrolytes from frequent, loose stools. It can lead to symptoms such as dry mouth, reduced urine output, and dizziness.
