ATI Gastrointestinal System Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which of the following treatments is used for rectal cancer but not for colon cancer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Radiation therapy is commonly used for rectal cancer to shrink the tumor before surgery, which is not typically done for colon cancer.

Question 2 of 5

After a right hemicolectomy for treatment of colon cancer, a 57-year old client is reluctant to turn while on bed rest. Which action by the nurse would be appropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Educating the client about the importance of turning can encourage compliance and promote understanding of the necessity to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers and pneumonia.

Question 3 of 5

The client with a colostomy has an order for irrigation of the colostomy. The nurse used which solution for irrigation?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Tap water at body temperature is generally used for colostomy irrigation unless the local water supply is not safe for drinking, in which case bottled water can be used.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following types of diets is implicated in the development of diverticulosis?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A low-fiber diet is implicated in the development of diverticulosis because it leads to harder stools and increased pressure in the colon. The lack of fiber results in decreased bulk and slower transit time, predisposing individuals to constipation and the formation of diverticula. High-fiber diets, on the other hand, promote regular bowel movements and help prevent diverticular disease. High-protein and low-carbohydrate diets do not have a direct association with diverticulosis.

Question 5 of 5

A client with gastric cancer can expect to have surgery for resection. Which of the following should be the nursing management priority for the preoperative client with gastric cancer?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The priority for preoperative management of a client with gastric cancer is the correction of nutritional deficits.
