Independent appointments of urology nurses
A nurse’s independent appointment is an outpatient nursing care service that includes:
-
epicystostomy replacement and teaching its care
-
counselling a patient with a urostomy
-
wound care, dressing, suture removal
-
performing nursing procedures (e.g. inserting medicine into the bladder)
-
post-treatment monitoring of patients (PSA analysis, general analyses)
If necessary, the nurse will refer the patient to a doctor’s consultation.
