Module 2 Lesson 1

Self- Assessment Activity

1. Think of yourself as a stoma care nurse.... how will you help yourself pursue your nursing goals? How
did you find this learning process?

As a stoma care nurse I would take care of my patient by reducing their anxiety especially because they
would think about their disturbed body image. I would also make sure to minimize the risk of infection
by observing aseptic technique and cleaning the stoma, another is to provide health teachings to our
patient to give awareness and avoid complications.
