How to use this enema:
REMOVE GREEN PROTECTIVE SHIELD BEFORE INSERTING; HOLD BOTTLE UPRIGHT, GRASPING BOTTLE CAP WITH FINGERS. GRASP PROTECTIVE SHIELD WITH OTHER HAND AND PULL GENTLY TO REMOVE.
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.
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 can 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 enema tip from rectum. • Retain enema in accordance with doctor's instructions.
