An opening that is in the ileal portion of the small intestine is an ____________.

• Use of antibiotics change the flora in the gut • Cephalosporin and quinolone use - Increase risk of overgrowth of Clostridium Difficile

Antibiotic use with regards to GI, what does it do?

1. Degeneration and atrophy of gastric mucosal surfaces with decreased production of HCL -> delayed gastric emptying 2. Atrophy of muscle and mucosal surfaces and thinning of villi and epithelial tissues -> decreased motility and transit time which lead to complaints of indigestion and constipation 3. Decrease in mucus secretion and decrease in elasticity of rectal wall-> decreased absorption of nutrients, leading to decreased sensation to defecate and increased constipation 4. Decreased tone of internal anal sphincter -> fecal incontinence from decrease or loss of sphincter control 5. Decrease of tone/function of the intestine and colon -> the contents move so rapidly through the intestine and colon that there is inadequate time for the GI secretions and oral contents to be absorbed -> diarrhea

5 physiologic changes that may occur in the older adult's gastrointestinal tract that may negatively impact bowel elimination.

c. Necessary because it will be an adjustment. ANS: C The child's age dictates the type and extent of psychologic preparation. When a colostomy is performed, the child who is at least preschool age is told about the procedure and what to expect in concrete terms with the use of visual aids. It is necessary to prepare this age child for procedures. The preschooler is not yet concerned with body image. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 1393 OBJ: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation

A 3-year-old child with Hirschsprung's disease is hospitalized for surgery. A temporary colostomy will be necessary. The nurse should recognize that preparing this child psychologically is: a. Not necessary because of child's age. b. Not necessary because the colostomy is temporary. c. Necessary because it will be an adjustment. d. Necessary because the child must deal with a negative body image.

D. Dermatitis Herpetiformis The answer is D. Patients will Celiac Disease may exhibit skin rashes. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is a VERY itchy blister type rash that can be present on the elbows, knees, buttocks, or hairline. All the other options are not typically present in Celiac Disease

A patient, who was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease, has blister type bumps on the elbow and knees. The patient reports it is extremely itchy. As the nurse, you know this is as known as: A. Seborrheic Dermatitis B. Psoriasis C. Dyshidrotic Eczema D. Dermatitis Herpetiformis

A-diphenoxylate b-atropine c-loperamide ATI: Opioids - diphenoxylate/atropine (Lomotil), loperamide (Imodium)

• Acute - lasts less than 2 weeks • Chronic - more than 4 weeks

Acute vs chronic diarrhea?

• regular schedule • Emptied every 4-6 hours or when pt empties bladder • Disposable pouches • Change bag every 5-7 days

Changing the appliance: Ileostomy?

ANS: A a. Place a pouch over the newly created stoma. Immediately after a fecal surgical diversion, it is necessary to place a pouch over the newly created stoma to contain effluent when the stoma begins to function. The pouch will keep the patient clean and dry, will protect the skin from drainage, and will provide a barrier against odor. Dressings would obstruct the opening and would become saturated with fecal material. Preparing multiple pouches in advance would be counterproductive; in the immediate postoperative period, the stoma may be edematous and the abdomen distended. These symptoms eventually resolve, but during this time, it will be necessary to revise the pouching system to meet the changing size of the stoma and the changes in body contours.

C. Flat intestinal villi The answer is C. Normally, the intestinal villi look like little finger-like projections. The villi aid in the absorption of the nutrients by increasing the surface area for absorption. However, when Celiac Disease occurs the villi are DAMAGED (attacked by the immune system) and they will appear FLAT. This will decrease the surface area for absorption and lead to malnourishment issues in the patient.

A patient is suspected to be suffering from Celiac Disease. The physician orders an endoscopy. If the patient has Celiac Disease, what finding will be discovered with the endoscopy? A. Over exaggerated intestinal villi B. Ulcerations in the small intestine, specifically the Jejunum C. Flat intestinal villi D. Cobble-stone appearance throughout the small intestine

a. Refer to a nutritionist for detailed dietary instructions and education. ANS: A The main consideration is helping the child adhere to dietary management. Considerable time is spent in explaining to the child and parents the disease process, the specific role of gluten in aggravating the condition, and those foods that must be restricted. Referral to a nutritionist would help in this process. The most severe symptoms usually occur in early childhood and adult life. Dietary avoidance of gluten should be lifelong. Celiac disease is not transmissible or stress related. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: 1424 OBJ: Client Needs: Physiologic Integrity TOP: Nursing Process: Planning
