The maximum height at which the container of fluid should be held by the nurse when administering this enema is 37cm (15 inches).

What is a cleansing enema and what is its function?

It is an injection into the rectum or colon for stimulating bowel movement. It is used to clear lower half of the large bowel.

Some of the cleansing enemas include Water or saline that mimics sodium concentration and expands the colon and mechanically promote defecation.

This procedure is used in:

  • Constipation
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Backaches.

For a high colonic enema, the fluid must extend higher in the colon. If the height of the enema fluid container above the anus is increased, the force and rate of flow also increases.

  • 30 cm (12 inches) is too low for a cleansing enema.
  • The height of 51 cm (20 inches) and 66 cm (26 inches) ae too high and may cause mucosal injury.

Hence, the maximum height of the container held by the nurse is 37 cm (15 inches).

Using examples from your own home, define the types of foods you typically eat that would have the highest risk for foodbourne p
grandymaker [24]
A food I often eat is eggs, and eating undercooked eggs have a high risk of having salmonella. This is why it is dangerous to eat raw cookie dough, even though I do it anyways.  Salmonella is a gram negative bacterium, it is rod shaped and flagellated. Undercooking foods and leaving them in warm temperatures can cause the pathogens to grow. Habits you can practice to reduce the risk of foodbourne illness would be to always be sure your food is cooked all the way, not eat anything raw, do not leave meat out to where it gets to room temperature, and to not eat rotten meat, fruit, or vegetables.
