Which action is inappropriate when massaging a client who has a colostomy bag?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the prone position is not recommended when massaging a client with a colostomy bag as pressure on the area can cause discomfort or damage to the bag. Instead, the supine or sidelying positions are recommended.

Answer: C
 It is important to avoid applying lubricant on or near the bag opening, as this can cause the seal to break and lead to leakage.

Answer: D
 If there is bag spillage during the session, it is the responsibility of the massage therapist to assist in cleaning up the spill and ensuring the client's comfort and dignity. Leaving the room is not an appropriate action.

Therefore, the inappropriate choice is A, as recommending avoiding eating before the session is not specific to clients with colostomy bags and may not be necessary for everyone.
