Care of patients with complications following formation of a stoma.
Adjusting to living with a stoma is a difficult process that can be made even harder if complications arise. Community nurses should be aware of the most common problems that can occur and of the solutions or treatments required. Working with specialist stoma-care nurses, community nurses can offer psychological support and practical solutions.
