问题 单项选择题

A client is scheduled to have a descending colostomy. He’s very anxious and has many questions concerning the surgical procedure, care of a stoma, and lifestyle changes. It would be most appropriate for the nurse to make a referral to which member of the health care team()

A. Social worker.

B. Registered dietitian.

C. Occupational therapist.

D. Enterostomal nurse therapist.

答案

参考答案:D

解析:

An enterostomal nurse therapist is a registered nurse who has received advanced education in an accredited program to care for clients with stomas. The enterostomal nurse therapist can assist with selection of an appropriate stoma site, teach about stoma care, and provide emotional support. Social workers provide counseling and emotional support, but they can’t provide preoperative and postoperative teaching. A registered dietitian can review any dietary changes and help the client with meal planning. The occupational therapist can assist a client with regaining independence in activities of daily living.
