Exam2 study question - #14

Nursing care for the client with a urinary diversion...p1284
-The nurse must accurately assess intake and output, note any changes in urine color, odor or clarity, and frequently assess the condition of the stoma and surrounding skin. Clients who must wear a urine collection appliance are at risk for impaired skin integrity because of irritation by urine.Well-fitting appliances are vital. The nurse should consult with an enterostomal therapist/wound, ostomy, continence nurse to identify the most appropriate appliance for the client's needs.
