Would training from another CNA be adequate on this procedure, or should it come from a nurse.

One thing to add is it seems to take about 4-5 attempts to clear the bowel fully, can this cause damage?

Hello, I work at an assisted living home and one of the patients needs rectal stimulation with a finger to induce evacuation of his fecal matter. This patient is paralyzed so he cannot do this himself. Question is should a CNA do this, we don't have any nurses in the building or Dr's. Also the patient has a large hemorrhoid and I am worried I could physically harm the patient, what should I do and is it right to tell them this is not for a CNA? Thanks!
