    “AI,” what should I do about being constipated?

    Painfully stretch your rectum to gaping in order to accommodate your constipation.

        As a CNA? Your RNs were lazy. They shouldn’t allow CNAs to do digital disimpaction. In some places even RNs aren’t allowed to do it, only providers.

        Edit: looked it up and it gets so dumb that some MDs will consult surgery to do a digital disimpaction in teaching hospitals, lol.

          Eh, they were definitely lazy lol.

          It wasn’t unusual though. I don’t think I ever saw an RN do one.

          One nursing home had us doing foleys, and I’ve started IVs and other stuff that was absolutely not supposed to be done by CNAs.
