Psychosocial IntegrityPregunta 59 de 120
A client with a new colostomy states, "I don't want to look at it. It's disgusting." What is the nurse's best response?
a."It is normal to have these feelings after surgery. Would you like to talk about it?"
b."You will have to look at it eventually, so do it now."
c."Most people adjust quickly, so don't worry."
d."Let's not discuss it until you feel better."
Explicación
Acknowledging feelings about an altered body image and inviting discussion supports adjustment. Pressuring the client or minimizing feelings is nontherapeutic. Emotional support precedes self-care teaching.
