D
Special skin care is a priority in caring for a client with a urinary diversion. Local irritation and skin breakdown occur when urine comes in contact with the skin for long periods.
Special clothing is not necessary for the client with a urinary diversion.
The client with a urinary diversion must wear a stomal pouch continuously because no sphincter control exists for regulation of urine flow.
No need is found to plan for a reduction in activity in this instance.
