RECTAL EXAMINATION OF
INFANT OR CHILD
Note any anal fissure, polyp, prolapse or perianal erythema.
Rectal examination should be done with a little finger that is gloved and
lubricated with petroleum jelly. Once the finger is in, may assess the anal
muscle tone. Note if the rectum is empty or full. The glove should be examined
for faces, mucus and blood after the finger is withdrawn.
