- Title
Use of the Ostomy Skin Tool: four patient cases.
- Authors
Inch, Tracey
- Abstract
The article describes four patient cases of peristomal skin, namely, Mr. W who was seen in clinic for a post-surgery review 12 months back, Mr. S who was visited at home 3 days after his hospital discharge, Mr. P whose stoma appliances were not sticking and Mrs. F who has been bleeding around her stoma. The four case studies demonstrate the scoring system used on the Ostomy Skin Tool. The article concludes that the tool objectively allows the stoma care nurses (SCN) to assess skin conditions.
