Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The left lateral position is the best position for administering an enema as it allows for the solution to flow more easily through the rectum and into the colon. This position also helps to minimize discomfort and cramping during the procedure. The nurse should instruct Mr.Adamson to remain in this position until he feels the urge to defecate. The other options (A, C, and D) are not relevant or may be unsafe for administering an enema.
