A nurse is assisting in the care of a client suspected of having a tuberculosis infection. Which of the following personal protective equipment should the nurse wear when in the client's room?

A. Ascending colon area (right lower quadrant): This location corresponds to an ascending colostomy or ileostomy, not a sigmoid colostomy. The stoma here would produce more liquid stool due to its proximity to the small intestine.

B. Transverse colon area (upper abdomen): A stoma in this area represents a transverse colostomy, which produces semi-formed stool. This is not consistent with a sigmoid colostomy location.

C. Descending colon area (left upper quadrant): While descending colon colostomies are in the left side, they are higher up and produce more formed stool, but the typical sigmoid colostomy is lower in the left lower quadrant.

D. Sigmoid colon area (left lower quadrant): The sigmoid colon is located in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. A sigmoid colostomy is placed here, producing more formed stool and allowing easier appliance management. This is the expected site for a stoma following sigmoid colostomy surgery.

A. Hyperthermia: Cocaine is a stimulant that increases sympathetic nervous system activity, leading to elevated body temperature, tachycardia, and hypertension. Hyperthermia is a common acute effect of cocaine use.

B. Increased appetite: Cocaine typically suppresses appetite due to its stimulant effects on the central nervous system. Clients often experience decreased hunger rather than increased appetite.

C. Sedation: Cocaine use generally causes CNS stimulation, resulting in agitation, restlessness, or insomnia rather than sedation. Sedative effects are more characteristic of depressant substances.

D. Hypotension: Cocaine causes vasoconstriction and sympathetic stimulation, which usually leads to elevated blood pressure. Hypotension is not expected and may indicate a complication or co-ingestion of another substance.
