The practical nurse (PN) is assisting with preparation of a client for fecal diversion surgery. While inserting an indwelling urinary catheter, the client asks if the surgical opening will be visible. Which action should the PN implement?

Verify that the client had nothing by mouth (NPO) for the past 24 hours.

Ask the client if he finished the bowel sterilization prescription.

Determine if this is the first indwelling catheter the client has had.

Review the client's expectations of elimination after surgery.
