Stoma Care Specialist Nursing: A Guide for Clinical Practice

Description:

This book provides specialist and general nurses with a comprehensive guide to the art and science of stoma care nursing, from the Association of Stoma Care Nurses UK, the only association for SCNs in UK.

The chapters follow a schematic outline of knowledge required for nurses caring for patients who are undergoing stoma surgery; from the essence of nursing to the management of patients living with a long term condition. It also presents and discusses the issues surrounding the clinical picture such as prescription and community issues as well as sources of support available for patients.

This text serves as an excellent resource for all disciplines of health care staff caring for individuals living with a stoma.

Preface

Stoma care was the first area of clinical practice to identify the need for specialist nurses in the UK in order to deliver high quality, evidence-based care. This mantra has not changed and even now the stoma care speciality strives to evolve by continually evaluating relevant clinical and scientific evidence and updating practice with guidelines and recommendations to ensure that an optimum level of care is provided at all times.
