What should you do with an ostomy bag after it has been used?

  1. Discard it in the nearest trash can

  2. Dispose of it in a facility-approved bag

  3. Flush it down the toilet

  4. Wash and reuse it

The correct answer is: Dispose of it in a facility-approved bag

After an ostomy bag has been used, it is important to dispose of it in a facility-approved bag. This is the correct way to handle ostomy bags to ensure proper disposal and prevent any potential contaminations or infections. Discarding it in the nearest trash can or flushing it down the toilet can pose health hazards and environmental concerns. Washing and reusing an ostomy bag is not recommended as it can lead to infection risk and compromise the bag's integrity. Proper disposal in a facility-approved bag is the safest and most hygienic option.
