Catherine A has it right about the standard protocol. Quite a few years ago, I suffered a spinal cord injury and was in the acute care hospital, and then the rehab center for a combined length of nearly three months. In the rehab center, ALL of the patients received a Dulcolax suppo every evening after dinner. The suppository needs to touch the rectal wall, and depending on the personal technique of the nurse who was doing it, it may be pushed in as far as a finger will allow, and the nurse would then hold it in place for a short period to be sure it wasn't going to back out.
I can assure you, however, that this wasn't something the nurses enjoyed. I was a fairly young man then, but after weeks in the hospital, neither I nor any of my fellow patients was any threat to George Clooney's "sexiest man" title; we were not an attractive lot. As someone who had a long history of enjoying enemas and suppositories as a child and later, the IDEA of a hospital suppository with a lingering female finger in my rectum seemed like the stuff of fantasy. But when you're smashed up and hurting, I can tell you that it really takes the fun out of it. At least it did for me. [sigh]
