Underlying Principles

(E.G., DELEGATION, LEVELS OF PREVENTION, ADVANCE DIRECTIVES)

-Assess patient’s level of social support. Social support is one of the determinants of the client’s recovery and emotional health. -Assess family/caregiver level of acceptance of the client’s body changes -Encourage clients to discuss concerns related to sexuality and provide support or information as indicated. Many conditions that affect body image also affect sexuality. -Teach all aspects of care. Involve clients and caregivers in self care as soon as possible. Do this in stages if clients still have difficulty looking at or touching body part. -Advise patients with a stoma about the support available to them.
