Special skin care is a priority in caring for a client with a urinary diversion.Local irritation and skin breakdown occur when urine comes in contact with the skin for long period.Special clothing is not necessary for the client with a urinary diversion,but the client must wear a stomal pouch continuously because there is no sphincter control for regulation of urine flow.There is no need to plan for a reduction in activity.
