Disorders or urinary or bowel storage or elimination and prevalent and clinically relevant This presentation will focus on the latest pharmacologic management of lower urinary tract and gastrointestinal storage and elimination disorders. Designed for the advanced practice provider, we will review options for pharmacotherapy, and their integration into a combined management program focusing on combined behavioral and pharmacologic treatment of disorders of the bowel and lower urinary tract including fecal and urinary incontinence, along with urinary retention and constipation.
Optimizing Care When Wounds Won’t Heal
Preview Available
Identification: 201
Within the Wound Bed Preparation model, not all wounds will heal. The goal may prevent infection and wound deterioration. To optimize care for wounds that will not heal requires a partnership between the patient and the health care team. In this session, a nurse physician team will review the updated evidence of the 2021 Wound Bed Preparation model and using a case base approach, highlight patient centered concerns and care strategy options for non-healable and maintenance wounds that should concentrate on control of pain, odor, exudate and optimizing activities of everyday living.

Body Wisdom: How Biologic Embedding of Childhood Adversity Impacts Adult GI and GU Health
Preview Available
Identification: 203
Biologic patho-mechanisms related to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their impact on GI and GU systems’ health are emerging from population level studies. Research increasingly demonstrates that a chronically activated stress response, particularly in childhood, shifts allostasis from healthy to maladaptive processes, impacting brain development and immune and endocrine systems’ functionality via epigenetic influences. This session will review the critical connections between childhood adversity, chronic inflammation, and GI/GU chronic disease in adulthood
Know about the Flow: Pathophysiology, Monitoring and Management of Patients with High-Output Ileostomies
Preview Available
Identification: S01
Supported by Hollister Incorporated
The post op phenomena of a high-output ileostomy is challenging for both patient and staff and requires the involvement and expertise of the WOC Nurse. In the post-acute setting it takes vigilance and skill to avoid patient dehydration and readmission. In this session, hear from a renown colorectal surgeon who will explain the pathophysiology related to the phenomenon and the step-wise pharmacological interventions from her practice along with rationale. An acute care WOC nurse will outline the care priorities and education strategies employed prior to discharge and an advanced practice WOC Nurse provider will share an outpatient regimen for follow-up, monitoring of laboratory values and rehydration to avoid readmission. Join this session to ensure your practice is up-to-date regarding this post-operative conundrum.
