How much of the large intestine can be removed due to cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually, about one fourth to one third of your colon is removed, but more or less tissue may be removed depending on the exact size and location of your cancer. The remaining sections of your colon are then reattached. Nearby lymph nodes are removed at this time as well. Most experts feel that taking out as many nearby lymph nodes as possible is important, but at least 12 should be removed.

What linens and incontinence pads did nursing aids put on the mattress during unoccupied bedmaking for incontinent patient resident?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Every country and facility uses different products and names for those products. As well, facilities use different protocols. In the US, we would try to determine the cause of the incontinence (urinary? fecal?). To protect the mattress and make it easier to change, Nursing Aides would:

  1. Put on the bottom sheet, as usual
  2. Place a folded draw sheet across the width of the bed to help move the patient as needed
  3. Place a cloth incontinence pad across the draw sheet
  4. Place Chux (blue & white absorbent pads) on top of the cloth incontinence pad
  5. (Chux are throw-aways and cut down on laundry.)
  6. Finish bedding as usual - top sheet, blanket

This can be very embarassing both from the point of hygiene and also to socially.

These can truly make life simple, especially for elderly people who can have challenges of mobility.

Information On Adult Diapers?

Asked by Wiki User

There are many reasons to purchase adult diapers, the most common reason is incontinence, the inability to control one's bodily functions. Further research into adult diapers show that there are several types and styles, and can suit whatever activity level. Nowadays, adult diapers can be conveniently bought everywhere, especially online, where subscription services can eliminate any embarrassment associated with dealing with sales people. As people get older they may experience leakage due to bladder control issues or incontinence, and wearing an adult diaper solves any concerns. Some people suffer from overproduction of urine and often find it is inconvenient to go to the bathroom. An enlarged prostate can cause incontinence, as well as over stimulation of the bladder caused by beverages with caffeine, like coffee and soda. People with afflictions like dementia need to wear adult diapers, as do people with mobility issues.

Other reasons for wearing adult diapers are for jobs that cause you to go hours without using the bathroom, like pilots and guards that stand around for long periods of time. Even astronauts wear diapers during liftoff or landing. Divers find wearing adult diapers convenient so that they do not need to surface in order to relieve themselves.

Different types of adult diapers are on the market today. There are the diapers that look like infant diapers, made of plastic, with seals on the sides to keep them up. Other diapers resemble sanitary napkins and are placed onto undergarments and are kept in place by a glue-like, sticky substance. Adult diapers can also look like underpants with liners, removing the need to wear underwear. There are even washable and reusable liners, instead of the plastic, disposable kinds.

Adult diapers are available in every supermarket and drugstore, but for most people, the issue of incontinence is embarrassing to admit to. Today, people can purchase adult diapers discreetly online through popular and trusted sites. These websites also offer subscription services so that a regularly timed delivery can occur without the hassle of having to remember to purchase them every time the supply runs out. People should discuss with their doctors any bladder control issues because there are medications that can help ease any discomfort or put an end to leakage all together.
