The male client diagnosed with renal calculi is receiving pain medication via a morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. The health-care provider prescribed the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indomethacin (Indocin) in a rectal suppository. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

1. Question and clarify the prescription with the health-care provider.

2. Give the suppository to the client and allow the client to insert it into the rectum.

3. Administer a Fleet’s enema to clear the bowel prior to administering the suppository.

4. Have the client lie on the side and insert the rectal suppository with nonsterile gloves.
