Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Suggest the client JOTI a support group for people who have colostomies.
Rationale:
✧ It's important to acknowledge and address the client’s emotional response to the new colostomy.
✧ Encouraging the client to join a support group provides peer support and emotional reassurance.
✧ This can help the client feel more comfortable and empowered in managing the colostomy independently.
✧ While instructing the partner to take over care temporarily may be helpful, it does not address the client’s emotional adjustment.
✧ Avoiding negative expressions helps normalize the situation, but providing ongoing emotional support is essential.
