    Study Notes

    Skin Breakdown Risk

    • Diaper rash is one risk factor for skin breakdown
    • Catheter use increases the risk of skin breakdown

    Postoperative Complications

    • Postoperative ileostomy may cause retention issues
    • Postoperative ileostomy may cause skin breakdown

    Ileostomy Management

    • Ileostomy is managed with a stoma bag
    • The stoma bag is attached with a flange

    Ileostomy Catheter

    • Ileostomy catheters are placed and removed through the stoma
    • Removal of the catheter is done through the stoma after the ileostomy.
    • The catheter is straight and removed after the procedure
    • The catheter's placement after the ileostomy makes it a higher risk for infection.

    Ileostomy Output

    • The ileostomy output is a liquidy waste
    • The ileostomy output is typically more formed stool
    • The ileostomy output can be less formed and resemble diarrhea

    Ileostomy Management Tips

    • If a patient is refusing to eat, it may indicate a problem with ileostomy
    • Rocking back and forth can be a sign of ileostomy problems.
    • Encourage chewing food thoroughly
    • Use of an enema may help with ileostomy output
    • Keep the stoma bag attached and maintained for adequate drainage
    • Encourage adequate fluid intake to help soften the stool.

    Skin Breakdown Risk

    • Diaper rash can increase the risk of skin breakdown

    ### Catheter Issues

    • Urinary catheters can be abused, leading to possible complications
    • Urine exists through the stoma
    • A catheter is placed in the stoma
    • Straight tubing is removed after the procedure
    • Bigger tubing may increase risk for infection
    • Foley bag may be used

    Neurological Changes in Older Adults

    • Neurological changes may occur in older adults

    Retention Issues

    • Retention issues may not always occur

    Movement Restrictions

    • Restrictions can impact stool formation
    • Movements can cause diarrhea
    • Enemas can be used to help with water absorption

    Stool Consistency

    • Looser stool can be caused by a lack of formed stool
    • Liquidy stools are the least formed
    • Large tubing can cause a less formed stool

    Post Operative Considerations (Possible Interpretations)

    • “postop” could be referring to a post-operative period
    • “Mcsifiction” could be a misspelling of “medication”
    • “fi'stofigurine” could be a misspelling of “fistula urine”
    • “Ynimiskhadder” could be a misspelling of “in this area”
    • “PYYnd mn catheter” could be a misspelling of “permanent catheter”

    Other Considerations

    • The text appears to be fragmented and may contain typos
    • The context of the text may be difficult to understand without further information
