Since when do nursing assistants give enemas?

Published

I am doing questions for the NCLEX on Jan. 22nd and this was a question in the Saunders review book.

Sounded kinda crazy to me, I have certainly never seen that nor can I imagine that happening.

Any insight?

When I started out as a CNA, we were allowed to give enemas. Now (in Indiana), CNAs are not allowed to give enemas or suppositories. While CNAs are not allowed to give enemas or suppositories, UAPs are.:confused:

Just to point out that this thread is 2 years old and there has been a couple of new editions released. When studying for NCLEX I would always recommend using current editions as they should cover the various format questions that are on the exam.
