Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Holding the scheduled dose of Colace and notifying the ordering physician. This is because the patient had two loose stools, indicating that the patient's bowel movements are already loose. Administering Colace in this situation could potentially worsen diarrhea and lead to dehydration. Holding the dose and informing the physician allows for a reevaluation of the patient's condition and a possible adjustment to the medication plan.
