  • Title: Basics of ostomy care.
    Author: Pontieri-Lewis V.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2006 Aug; 15(4):199-202. PubMed ID: 16999180.
    Abstract:
    Teaching the patient how to care for a new ostomy can be a challenging experience for the nurse. The patient with an ostomy needs encouragement, support, and counseling to learn how to integrate self-ostomy care into daily activities. Collaboratively, the WOCN and medical-surgical nurse can provide the patient and his or her family with a more comprehensive approach to ostomy teaching.
