A nurse cares for a client who had a colostomy placed in the ascending colon 2 weeks ago. The client states, "The stool in my pouch is still liquid." How would the nurse respond?

"Eating additional fiber will bulk up your stool and decrease diarrhea."

"This is abnormal, I will contact your primary health care provider."

"Your stool will become firmer over the next couple of weeks."

"The stool will always be liquid with this type of colostomy."
