An enema is a fluid injected into the rectum and lower colon to either cleanse the bowel, relieve constipation, or prank a patient. It is called an enema because by the end of it the patient will declare you, the giver of the enema, an enemy.


Equipment


Basic equipment involves the enema solution, an enema bag, tubing, a bed protector, and the album Ænema by Tool.


Position


Left lying Sims' position. If you wish the patient to defecate like a geyser, then headstand or handstand.


General Guidelines


Before you administer the enema, make sure there is an order to administer the enema and try to trade out of performing the enema with another colleague or a medical student.
