A patient with severe hemorrhoids is incontinent of liquid stool.Which of the following interventions is contraindicated?

A) Apply an indwelling fecal drainage device.
B) Apply an external fecal collection device.
C) Place an incontinence garment on the patient.
D) Place a waterproof pad under the patient's buttocks.

An indwelling fecal drainage device is contraindicated for children; for more than 30 consecutive days of use; and for patients who have severe hemorrhoids,recent bowel,rectal,or anal surgery or injury; rectal or anal tumors; or stricture or stenosis.External devices are not typically used for patients who are ambulatory,agitated,or active in bed because the device may be dislodged,causing skin breakdown.External devices cannot be used effectively when the patient has Impaired Skin Integrity because they will not seal tightly.Absorbent products are not contraindicated for this patient unless Impaired Skin Integrity occurs.Even with absorbent products or an external collection device,the nurse should place a waterproof pad under the patient to protect the bed linens.
