Answer to Question 1

Notify the nurse. The pouch needs to be changed. Pouches are never taped when leaking; a new pouch is applied. The nurse will also need to address proper ileal conduit teaching with the PCT that taped the leaking pouch.

Answer to Question 2

This behavior is known as sundowning. Validation therapy, one-on-one care, reassurance, distraction, and recollection of past memories from a memory box are several helpful strategies.
