A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about an ileal conduit.
The nurse should include which of the following information?
A client has control of elimination through an ileal conduit.
A client's ureters are attached to a section of the client's small intestine to form an ileal conduit.
An ileal conduit is a tube that directly connects a client's kidney to an external pouch.
Stool is passed through an ileal conduit located on a client's abdomen.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
An ileal conduit does not provide the client with control over elimination. It is a type of urinary diversion, and the client wears an external pouch to collect urine.
Choice B rationale
In an ileal conduit, the client's ureters are attached to a section of the small intestine, which is then brought to the surface of the abdomen to form a stoma. Urine flows through this conduit into an external pouch.
Choice C rationale
An ileal conduit is not a tube that directly connects the kidney to an external pouch. It involves using a section of the small intestine to create a passageway for urine to exit the body.
Choice D rationale
Stool is not passed through an ileal conduit. The ileal conduit is specifically for urinary diversion, while stool passes through the regular gastrointestinal tract.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Neobladder urinary diversion involves creating an internal reservoir or pouch from a segment of the intestine to store urine. This new bladder is then connected to the urethra,
enabling the client to void through the urethra. This method closely mimics natural urination, allowing the client to have some control over urination.
Choice B rationale
This is incorrect because a neobladder is designed to allow the client to control urination. While there might be a learning curve for the client to adapt to the new bladder, the ultimate
goal is to achieve continence.
Choice C rationale
This describes an ileal conduit, another type of urinary diversion, where a stoma is created on the abdomen for urine to pass into an external bag. The neobladder does not involve a
stoma for urination.
Choice D rationale
This is incorrect as it pertains to an ileal conduit or urostomy. Clients with a neobladder do not require an external collection bag since urine is stored internally in the constructed
bladder and can be passed through the urethra. .
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Colonoscopy is the recommended test for screening for rectal cancer. It allows for direct visualization of the entire colon and rectum, enabling the detection and biopsy of polyps or
suspicious lesions. It is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening.
Choice B rationale
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder. It’s not typically used for colorectal
cancer screening.
Choice C rationale
An upper GI series involves X-rays of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenum) after swallowing a contrast medium. This test does not visualize the
lower GI tract, including the colon and rectum, and is therefore not suitable for rectal cancer screening.
Choice D rationale
Upper GI endoscopy allows for direct visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract but does not reach the colon and rectum. Hence, it is not used for screening rectal cancer
