Nurses lack information on the care and management of patients with a nephrostomy. This article explains what nurses need to know about the nephrostomy and its management

Nurses need to understand how to care for, and manage, patients with a nephrostomy, but information and guidance in the field of nursing is limited. This article explains what hospital and community nurses need to know about the nephrostomy and its management, including the main risk factors and issues around self-care for patients requiring a long-term nephrostomy.
