An ostomate asks the nurse what limitations must be observed in the immediate postoperative period when at home. The most informative information that the nurse can share is:
1.   avoidance of heavy lifting for at least 3 months.
2.   limit fluid intake to no more than 1000 mL/day.
3.   wear loose clothing, without belts or elastic.
4.   cover your appliance with plastic sheeting while showering.


This is for my medical nursing class

1. avoidance of heavy lifting for at least 3 months.

Avoidance of heavy lifting for 3 months is advised. Ostomates should take in at least 2000 mL of fluid every day. They may wear ordinary clothes that don't bind the stoma. Showering is allowed, because the appliance is waterproof.
