Urine reflux into the stoma

The most important reason for attaching the appliance to a standard urine collection bag at night is to prevent reflux into the stoma and ureters. which can result in infection.Options B and C: Use of a standard collection bag also keeps the appliance from separating from the skin and helps prevent urine leakage from an overly full bag. but the primary purpose is to prevent reflux of urine.Option D: A client with a urinary diversion should drink 2000-3000 ml of fluid each day; it would be inappropriate to suggest decreasing fluid intake.
