Abstract
A young man with a short but complicated medical history was seen in our enterostomal therapy department in a large acute-care facility. The patient had a distal jejunostomy with an extremely high and problematic output. Cases such as his force WOC nurses to review basic anatomy, physiology, and psychosocial development to provide holistic care in a specialized practice. Such cases can justify the existence of WOC nurses and prove they are a valuable asset in the health care system.
