The Health Care Provider orders a colonoscopy for your patient. Prior to taking them to the test, the nurse assists the patient to the bathroom, the patient has a bowel movement of 2 solid feces. What should the nurse do next?

A. Have patient drink more laxatives and wait 15 minutes to take them to test: The nurse cannot modify the bowel prep regimen without a provider’s order. B. Monitor the patient's I & O: Monitoring I&O is important generally, but it does not address inadequate bowel prep. C. Assist the patient to the wheelchair and take them to test: Solid stool suggests incomplete bowel prep, which can compromise the test. D. Notify the HCP of the bowel movement: The provider must determine if the colonoscopy should be delayed or rescheduled due to poor bowel preparation.
