A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who will undergo a colonoscopy the following week. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
reason: Administering enemas 2 days before the procedure is not necessary for colonoscopy preparation. Enemas are usually given on the day of or the night before the procedure to empty the bowel and improve visibility.
reason: Restricting the diet to clear liquids for 1 to 3 days before the procedure is an important instruction for colonoscopy preparation. Clear liquids include water, broth, tea, coffee, juice without pulp, and gelatin. This helps to prevent solid food from remaining in the colon and interfering with the examination.
reason: Expecting the provider to schedule another procedure to remove any polyps is not a valid instruction for colonoscopy preparation. Polyps are abnormal growths in the lining of the colon that can be benign or malignant. The provider can usually remove any polyps during the colonoscopy using a snare or a biopsy forceps.
reason: Not eating or drinking anything except water for 12 hr before the procedure is not enough for colonoscopy preparation. The client should stop eating or drinking anything at least 4 hr before the procedure or as instructed by the provider. This helps to prevent aspiration and vomiting during sedation.
