5. During this admission, Ms. Johnson underwent an ileal resection and a complete colectomy with a permanent end ileostomy. The surgical report indicates that Ms. Johnson has 180 cm of small bowel to her end ileostomy. How long is the small intestine, and how significant is this resection? Does Ms. Johnson have SBS? Define SBS and provide a rationale for your answer. 6. What type of adaptation can the small intestine make after surgical resection? Do you think Ms. Johnson will be reliant on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) indefinitely?
