Practice Question
A nurse is educating a patient who has an ileal conduit due tobladder cancer.Which statement from the patient suggests that further instruction is needed?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
I need to catheterize the stoma multiple times a day
Rationale:
✔An ileal conduit is a non-continent urinary diversion where urine drains continuously into an external pouch.
✔Catheterization is unnecessary because the stoma does not store urine; it flows directly into the pouch.
✔This statement indicates a misunderstanding of the procedure, as the patient will not need to catheterize the stoma.
✔Correct care involves pouch management, stoma hygiene, and monitoring for skin irritation.
