|
Administering Enema
|
- With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel.
- Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus.
- Do not force the enema tip into rectum as this may cause injury.
- Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed.
- Remove tip from rectum and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes).
- Discontinue use if resistance is encountered. Forcing the enema can result in injury.
|
Positioning |
- Left side position: Lie on left side with knee bent and arms at rest.
- Knee-chest position: Kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface.
- Position arms comfortably.
