Question

The nurse is caring for a client who had a Loop Transverse colostomy performed because of a rupture of the colon from a diverticulitis abscess. The client asks the nurse when all of this will be over and life will return to normal. What is the nurse's best response to this client? "I think you may mean when the colostomy will be reversed. It all depends on how soon your colon heals but it's usually about two to three months." "In most cases, a colostomy revision is done after about six months to a year." "I'm not sure what you mean by normal. Being in a hospital and having surgery may affect an individual for a lifetime." "I think it is better if you concentrate on taking care of yourself right now rather than focusing on the future."
