I happened upon a couple of nurses today, discussing the best approach to performing an enema on one of our most constipated patients. This was a repeat attempt, so the strategy was very important.
- You have to get the angle right [demonstrating possible angles with small bottle of enema solution]
- Yes yes, if you get the angle wrong then it just goes everywhere [voice of experience]
- Oh, and it's very important to warm it up first..
At this point the other nurse takes the bottle of enema solution and pops it down her uniform, lodging it somewhere in her ample bosom! I was somewhat aghast, but couldnt help laughing at the pair of them, so we all fell about, and next thing she tries to fish it out and the top flies off and she gets soaked in enema! Hilarious.
All these nursing tips one picks up on the wards..
