Answer #1

Ans- C

We need a professional or experienced nurse for the following things-

i- Assess for possible urinary tract infection (UTI).

ii- Choose the appropriate ostomy bag

iii- Monitor the appearance of the stoma

This is because these are a bit complex work and mistakes in any of the above can risk the life of the patients.

Whereas,

Empting the ostomy appliance when it is 2/3 full does notrequired much education or knowledge and it can be done by Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP)
