Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enemas must be avoided since the ureterosigmoidoscopy creates a direct connection between the colon and the urinary tract, making the client susceptible to infection. Intermittent self-catheterization may be necessary for bladder drainage. Stoma care is important to prevent irritation and infection. Sodium intake may be modified as directed by the healthcare provider.
