Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Dark - colored stools can indicate bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which is a serious concern. A history of constipation is pre - enema information. A large liquid bowel movement is an expected result. Refusal to retain for 30 minutes may affect effectiveness but is not as serious as possible bleeding.
# Answer:
D. Discharge of dark - colored stools
