Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Discuss ways to adapt to a new body image so the patient will be comfortable in resuming intimacy:
Helping the patient process body image changes is the first step in restoring confidence and comfort in sexual activity.

B. Inform the patient about a support group for people with colostomies:
While support groups are helpful, this is not the initial step in addressing emotional and sexual concerns.

C. Teach the patient about intimate activities that can be done to incorporate the ostomy:
This comes later, once the patient is ready to explore intimacy options.

D. Reassure the patient that lots of people resume sex the same week the colostomy is placed:
This may minimize the patient's feelings and is likely unrealistic or unhelpful.

A. Blood glucose 45 mg/dL B. Hyperactive bowel sounds C. HR 55/bpm D. ВР 180/94

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Blood glucose 45 mg/dL
Glucose would typically rise due to stress hormones (epinephrine, cortisol), not drop.

B. Hyperactive bowel sounds
Sympathetic (fight-or-flight) response suppresses GI activity, not stimulates it.

C. HR 55 bpm
A slow heart rate is not expected. The HR should increase.

D. BP 180/94
The sympathetic response leads to increased BP, HR, and blood glucose.
