@xailey Instruct individuals to avoid any trauma to the fingernails and to avoid nail biting and finger sucking. Educate patients who work with their hands in a moist environment that such exposure predisposes them to infections. Inform patients that treatment is unlikely to be successful if their exposure to a moist or wet environment is not changed. Explain to patients who are immunocompromised that they must remain vigilant against any minor trauma to the fingertips and nails.

@wy Hello, yes it is safe to use an enema but it should be used only under the prescription of the doctor. Enemas can be quite effective, but there is a risk of severe adverse effects such as metabolic derangement or perforation, damage to the rectum and anus, and cause infection, hypothermia, and nausea. There are different enemas and they all work differently. Do not use an enema if you have Congestive heart failure, severe kidney disease, Active inflammatory disease, and Rectal obstruction. Use enema only when it is directed by the healthcare provider. Thanks!
