Cevap
The nurse should consult the WOCN for stoma education, refer to a medical social worker for financial assistance, and arrange for a registered dietitian for dietary modifications.
Effective interdisciplinary collaboration involves utilizing the specialized expertise of various team members to meet comprehensive client needs. A WOCN addresses the complex clinical and educational needs of a new ostomy, a social worker navigates critical financial barriers, and a dietitian manages nutritional adjustments. Together, these referrals ensure a safe and holistic discharge plan.
