Problem 1: Anastomotic Leakage
Anastomotic leakage is not only one of the commonest postoperative problems after colostomy but also among the most serious problems. In most cases, this problem occurs 3 to 5 days postoperatively. Anastomotic leakage has a high prevalence and contribution to mortality. For example, anastomotic leakage accounts for about 2.9% to an alarming 15.3% of severe problems that are particular to intestinal surgery. As far as mortality is concerned, anastomotic leakage accounts for at least one third mortalities associated with colorectal surgery (Floodeen, 2016).

Also, medications like opioid analgesics should be administered in a cautious manner. Also, give medications like sympathomimetics.
The emergency cart should be available for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Fulde, Preisz, & Berry, 2009).
Frequent cardiovascular assessment is critical to detect the symptoms and signs inadequate tissue perfusion (Shandilya, 2013). These include cyanosis, cool skin, breath shortness, agitation, restlessness, decreased blood pressure, diminished peripheral pulses as well as the output level of urine.
The client should have reduced activity in the cases where the severity and tolerance of dysrhythmia. Displayed reduce frequency of dysrhythmia.
