  2. Instill at least 1000 mL normal saline heated to 120F to promote peristalsis but decrease the discomfort of cramping.
  3. Insert the tip of the tubing 4 inches while the patient sits on the toilet to aid elimination by use of gravity.
  4. Instill half of the ordered solution while the patient lies on the left side, then reposition the patient to supine and then right lateral side-lying position to instill the rest of the solution.
