ASSESSING THE ANUS

1. Position the client. In adults, a left lateral or Sims’ position with the upper leg acutely flexed is required for the examination. A dorsal recumbent position with hips externally rotated and knees flexed or a lithotomy position may be used. For males, a standing position while the client bends over the examining table may also be used.

2.  Inspect the anus and surrounding tissue for color, integrity, and skin lesions. Then, ask the client to bear down as though defecating. Bearing down creates  slight pressure on the skin that may accentuate rectal fissures, rectal prolapse, polyps, or internal hemorrhoids. Describe the location of all abnormal findings in terms of a clock, with the 12 o’clock position toward the pubic symphysis

3. Remove and discard gloves.Perform hand hygiene.

4. Document finding sin the client record using printed or electronic forms or checklists supplemented by narrative notes when appropriate.
