Answer to Question 1

B
A large-volume enema is designed to clean the colon of as much feces as possible. Place the client in a left side-lying position with the right leg sharply flexed. This facilitates the flow of the fluid into the colon. The temperature of the enema solutions should be 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
After research studies revealed the widespread use of physical restraints in long-term care facilities, federal legislation known as the Nursing Home Reform Law was incorporated in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) in 1987.
