A patient is receiving discharge instructions. He shares with the nurse that he intends to do a lot of traveling. Instructions for travel should include which of these points?
1.   “Pack plenty of extra colostomy supplies in your checked airline luggage. Some places you might visit do not always carry those supplies you will need.”
2.   “Exercise caution with new foods, especially local fruits and vegetables, because they may cause diarrhea or gas.”
3.   “If visiting somewhere where drinking local water is not advised, it is still all right to irrigate the colostomy with the local water.”
4.   “Repeat back to me what we just talked about so that you will be sure and remember carefully everything you have been taught.”


This is for my medical nursing class

Warning about foods in a different country is appropriate. Supplies should be placed in a carry-on bag for quick access or in the case of lost luggage. Water that is not safe to drink is not appropriate as irrigation fluid.
