shield from enema Comfortip before inserting. 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 Comfortip from rectum
and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 5 minutes).
