The most formed stool occurs in which portion of the colon?

The correct answer is Choice B.

Choice A rationale: Waiting until the ostomy drainage bag is full increases the risk of leakage and can put undue pressure on the stoma, leading to potential skin irritation or damage. Regular emptying is crucial for maintaining stoma health and preventing complications.

Choice B rationale: Emptying the ostomy drainage bag when it is 1/2 full is recommended to prevent leaks and reduce pressure on the stoma. This practice helps maintain skin integrity around the stoma and ensures the drainage bag functions effectively.

Choice C rationale: Emptying the ostomy drainage bag when it is only 1/4 full may be too frequent and unnecessary, leading to increased use of supplies and potential irritation from frequent manipulation. It is more practical to aim for 1/2 full for routine care.

Choice D rationale: Waiting until the ostomy drainage bag is 3/4 full increases the risk of leakage and pressure on the stoma, similar to waiting until it is full. It is essential to empty the bag more regularly to maintain optimal stoma health and prevent issues

Choice A The supine position (lying flat on the back) is not suitable for administering an enema as it does not facilitate proper flow and retention of the solution.

Choice B High Fowler's position (sitting upright at a 90degree angle) is not appropriate for enema administration, as it might cause discomfort and hinder proper administration.

Choice C Semi Fowler's position (sitting at a semiupright angle) is also not the best option for enema administration, as it may not allow the solution to flow effectively.

Choice D The Sims position, with the patient lying on the left side with the right knee flexed, allows the enema solution to flow downward by gravity and improves retention. It is the best position for enema administration.
