Time: 01:00PM - 11:59PM

You must be registered to participate!

Nutrition management of a patient with a new or existing ostomy or continent diversion presents a special challenge to the clinician. It is critical to understand what constitutes normal function in each type of ostomy, continent urine and bowel ( J-pouch, K-pouch) diversions and how best to intervene when complications such as malnutrition, dehydration, and electrolyte depletion arise. Appropriate and well-planned nutrition support regimens can help optimize the patient’s nutritional status and improve nutrient and medication absorption.

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this educational program, the learner will understand the nutrition management principles involved with each type of fecal and urinary diversions to plan appropriate nutrition interventions.
