A patient reports taking an oral bisacodyl laxative (Dulcolax) for several years. The provider has suggested discontinuing the laxative, but the patient is unsure how to do this. The nurse will tell the patient to:
 
  a. stop taking the oral laxative and use a suppository until normal motility resumes.
  b. stop taking the laxative immediately and expect no stool for several days.
  c. switch to a bulk-forming laxative, such as methylcellulose (Metamucil).
  d. withdraw from the laxative slowly to avoid a rebound constipation effect.
