The nurse caring for a 2-day postoperative colostomy patient should report immediately if a stoma is assessed as:
1.   beefy and red.
2.   having swelling.
3.   having a small amount of bleeding around it.
4.   blue-tinged.


This is for my medical nursing class

4. blue-tinged.

A stoma should be beefy red. Blue or black coloration is an indication of poor circulation and should be reported immediately. Swelling and a small amount of blood around the stoma are normal in early postoperative days.
