Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "The more colon remaining, the more liquid the stool" is incorrect. Generally, the closer the colostomy is located to the anus, the more solid the stool will be as more water is absorbed in the colon as the stool moves through the digestive system. However, this may vary depending on individual factors such as diet and medication. The correct statement is "The consistency of stool from a colostomy depends on the location of the colostomy."
