What is the recommended volume for an enema?

  1. 250-500 mL

  2. 500-750 mL

  3. 750-1000 mL

  4. 1000-1250 mL

The correct answer is: 250-500 mL

The recommended volume for an enema is typically 250-500 mL. This is because a larger volume can lead to discomfort and potential injury to the colon. While options B-D may seem like reasonable choices, they exceed the recommended amount and may cause more harm than good. It is important to carefully follow instructions and recommendations for enema administration to avoid any potential complications.
