  1. Correct Answer – Option 1 : Increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration

    Concept:

    • An ileostomy can cause dehydration.
    • The colon is responsible for absorbing water.
    • After the ileostomy, the stool passes from the ileum, and less water is absorbed for the body.
    • This leads to dehydration.
    • Therefore, a nurse must emphasize increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration.

    Explanation:

    • Other important health teachings on discharge:
      • Consumption of a low-fiber diet.
      • Avoid enteric-coated medicine because of partial absorption of the medicine.
      • Avoid carbonated drinks and food.
      • Avoid gas-producing food.
      • Assess for any redness, swelling, or drainage in the stoma and inform the health care provider.
