An older adult client tells the nurse, i give myself a mineral oil enema every day. what is the appropriate nursing response?

Mineral oil enema is used as a laxative or stool softener is elderly clients.

If an older client tells the nurse, I give myself a mineral oil enema everyday, the nurse should administer the older adult client with oil-retention enema. The nurse should tell the client to do oil retention for at least 30 minutes at body temperature. the nurse should also advice the client not to use mineral oil retention for more than a week until and unless not prescribed by the physician.
