Feedback:
The nurse is accurate to instruct the client that ascorbic acid and an appliance deodorant decreases odors. Also, a two-piece pouch is changed no less than one time per week. Temporary bags should be emptied when the bag becomes half full to prevent leakage and stress on the stoma site. A one-piece pouch is changed every 3 days.
