Question 1 of 5
The nurse must administer an enema to an adult patient with constipation. Which is a safe and effective distance for the nurse to insert the tubing into the patient's rectum? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Correct Answer: A,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A and E (4 in. and 3 in.). The safe and effective distance for the nurse to insert the tubing into the patient's rectum is around 3-4 inches. Inserting the tubing too far can cause injury or damage to the rectal tissue. A shorter insertion, such as 2 inches (choice
D), may not reach the desired area for the enema to be effective.
Choices B and C are too deep and can lead to complications. It is important for the nurse to follow guidelines and best practices to ensure the patient's safety and comfort during the procedure.
