Question 1 of 5
An oil retention enema is prescribed for a hospitalized client. The practical nurse (PN) should administer the enema solution at which temperature?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The enema solution should approximate the client's body temperature (98°F or 36°
C) to prevent discomfort or injury. Administering the enema at this temperature helps relax the colon muscles and promote retention of the solution.
Choice A is incorrect because the solution temperature should not solely be determined by client comfort as it must align with physiological considerations.
Choice B is incorrect as the temperature of the enema solution does impact its effectiveness by affecting the colon's response.
Choice D is incorrect as a temperature higher than the body temperature can cause burns or discomfort.
