Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer acetaminophen 650 mg rectally. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Have the client lie on his left side for 5 min after insertion. This position promotes optimal absorption of the medication. When the client lies on the left side, gravity helps keep the suppository in place and allows it to dissolve and be absorbed more effectively through the rectal mucosa. This position also helps prevent the suppository from being expelled prematurely.


Choice A is incorrect because inserting the suppository 5 cm (2 in) is not necessary for proper administration.
Choice B is incorrect as lubricating the suppository is not essential for rectal administration.
Choice D is incorrect because warming the suppository is not required and may not be safe.

Choices E, F, and G are not provided, so they are not applicable in this scenario.
