What will the nurse do to protect the peristomal skin of a patient with a urostomy?
Pouching Systems (Ostomy Appliances) Patients with ostomies must wear a pouching system to collect the effluent from the stoma and protect the skin from irritation. The pouching system must be completely sealed to prevent leaking of the effluent and to protect the surrounding peristomal skin.
What must the nurse assess and document regarding a stoma and why?
After assessing the stoma and peristomal skin, the nurse should assess the abdomen to check for distention and check the surgical incision for bleeding, dehiscing, or any other abnormality. Drains should also be assessed for the type and amount of drainage.

What is the role of ileal conduit in urinary diversion?
An ileal conduit used as a urinary diversion strategy is recommended for conditions in which the bladder cannot be preserved. To increase bladder contractility, electrical stimulation with electrodes implanted on the bladder wall, pelvic nerves, sacral roots, and conus is used to elicit detrusor contraction.
What are the contraindications for ileal conduit?
