title: Multiple stomas: multiple problems.
abstract: The problems that may occur when a patient has surgical procedures or complications resulting in multiple stomas are a challenge. These problems can be addressed and appropriately managed providing they are identified and a nursing plan developed which initiates solutions that are realistic and manageable by the staff, the patient, family, or other involved health providers.
