Today’s video is all about ileostomy vs colostomy care for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.
Some patients with GI tract conditions (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or a blockage) will have to undergo either an ileostomy or colostomy.
An ileostomy involves creating a new opening from the intestines to drain into a pouch outside the body, while a colostomy creates an external opening for waste to pass through.
As a nurse, it’s important to know the differences between the two to give them the proper care.
