A client has undergone a cystectomy and an ileal conduit diversion. What should the nurse incorporate into the discharge instructions? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
A,D
Rationale
An adequate fluid intake aids in the prevention of urinary calculi and infection. Odor-producing foods should be avoided as they can affect the client's lifestyle and relationships. Minimizing activities can lead to urinary stasis, promoting infection. Alkaline urine may increase infection risk, and snug clothing is not recommended as it may irritate the stoma.
