Answer 1

The mental health practitioner should help the client cope with anxiety associated with changes in body image.

During an ileal conduit procedure, a surgeon creates a new tube from a piece of the intestine that allows the kidneys to drain and urine to exit the body through a small opening called a stoma.

After the surgery, urine will flow from the kidneys, through the ureters and ileal conduit, and out of the stoma. One needs to wear a urostomy pouching (bag) system (appliance) over the stoma to catch and hold the urine. This surgery usually takes about 3 to 6 hours. A change in body image is one of the disadvantages of this surgery.
