medium · NCLEX-RN Basic Care and Comfort

A client with a new ostomy refuses to look at the stoma during a dressing change.

What is the most appropriate initial nursing response?

  1. Ask a family member to perform the care instead of the nurse
  2. Force the client to look in a mirror to begin the grieving process
  3. Acknowledge that this is a difficult adjustment and continue the care
  4. Defer all ostomy care until the client is ready to participate
