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 C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Cheese is high in calcium, which can interfere with the absorption of iron by binding to it in the digestive tract, making it less available for absorption.
Choice B rationale
Antacids containing magnesium can interfere with the absorption of iron by increasing the pH of the stomach, reducing the solubility and absorption of iron.
Choice C rationale
Orange juice is high in vitamin C, which can enhance the absorption of iron by reducing it to a form that is more easily absorbed by the body.
Choice D rationale
Milk contains calcium, which can inhibit the absorption of iron. Calcium competes with iron for absorption in the intestines, leading to reduced iron absorption.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice D rationale
Intravenous (IV) administration has the fastest rate of absorption because the medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption barriers of the digestive
system or muscle tissue. This ensures rapid onset of action.
Choice A rationale
Enteral administration involves the gastrointestinal tract, including oral and feeding tube methods. Absorption is slower as the medication passes through the digestive system before
entering the bloodstream.
Choice B rationale
Intramuscular (IM) administration involves injecting the medication into muscle tissue, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Absorption is quicker than enteral routes but slower
compared to IV administration.
Choice C rationale
Topical administration involves applying medication to the skin or mucous membranes. Absorption is generally slower and is intended for local or systemic effects, depending on the medication.
