The goal for the client who is scheduled to undergo a procedure such as an ileal conduit is to have a positive self-image and a positive attitude about his or her body.Medications for anxiety or sleep will not promote this,nor will discussing the procedure once more with the physician.However,discussing the procedure candidly with a former client will foster such feelings,especially when the current client has an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns to someone with first-hand knowledge of the procedure.
