The nurse is preparing a client for surgery where a Brooke ileostomy will be placed. The nurse assists the client to understand that this type of ostomy handles the passage of stool in what way? The ostomy has a reservoir with a nipple valve. The client inserts a catheter into the reservoir at intervals to drain the stool. There are two openings in the stoma, one for fecal matter and one for mucous, and both drain into a pouch. The client must wear an external pouch and fecal contents drain directly into the pouch. The client defecates the stool in a normal fashion because the ileum is connected to a pouch that is created in anal area.
