suppositories in colostomys?

[nursesara23]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has inserted a suppository into a stoma. I just had a doctors order a dulcolax suppository to be administered via his ostomy and this is the first time I had ever seen this! The issue was, when inserting it, the suppository kept popping out, which I expected to happen as there is no sphincter like in the rectum. It wouldn't come out all the way, but I wonder how this could even be effective if it wouldn't really stay in all the way. Also, I was nervous because I didn't want to push too far and injure the ostomy...

Well if we worked together I would trade you for digital stim or disimpaction. Yeesh.
