Question

A WOC nurse is caring for a patient with an end colostomy located in the right lower quadrant and a mucous fistula located in the left lower quadrant. The patient questions, "Will I always need to have two pouching systems on my abdomen?". The WOC nurse states which of the following? Question 7 options: "After any remaining stool is expelled, you will be able to only apply a pouching system to the mucous fistula and use a gauze dressing for the colostomy". "The mucous fistula will continue to produce a large amount of mucous that will always require the use of a drainable ostomy pouch for frequent emptying". "Both of the stomas will continue to expel stool; therefore, you will always need a pouching system for each stoma". "The output from the mucous fistula should decrease, and you may choose to apply just a dressing to collect any mucous. You will continue to place an ostomy pouch on the colostomy".
