Explanation:

In nursing (a subfield of Natural Science - Medicine and Health), when administering an enema, the left lateral (Sims') position is preferred. This position helps in the flow of the enema solution into the colon due to the anatomical structure (the descending colon is on the left side) and also provides comfort to the patient by allowing relaxation of the abdominal muscles and proper alignment for the procedure.

Answer:

left lateral (Sims') position
