Soap Suds Enema in L&D - do you still use?

[StatRNNJ97]

:angryfire I am very angry! Certain hospital I work in L&D and an OB insists that ALL patients receive SSE. I have NEVER done this to any OB patient since I have been a nurse (many years) in OB! Any other nurses out their still use SSE prior to labor/induction? I voiced my concern and nurses are "afraid" to say anything to the OB. Whoever heard of an L&D nurse being timid? LOL. What ever happened to advocating for the patient? None of the other OB's in the unit order SSE. What do you think?

We have one OB who orders a shave and enema prep on every pt of his that is admitted for labor or induction, many refuse but some who have had several babies with him over the years are actually ok w/it b/c it is what they are used to having happen w/this particular MD?
