Nuts. It's something that really needs an order (standing or otherwise) in their charts nowadays because it's considered invasive with a risk of vasovagal response which can lead to a code(for those with fragile cardiac status) and many RNs aren't even trained to do it safely (but let's be real, if you're not sticking your hand up there you're not going to cause a bowel perf). No shortage of lazy RNs in LTC though.

Amen to that. To be kinda fair, most ltc staff develop a sense of "fuck it" and either get lazy or quit entirely. It grinds people down, so the field ends up relying on new hires that are burnt out from other areas, which just completes the cycle
