NG Tube and test prep

I received an order from a physician to put an NG tube in a patient and begin giving Go-Lytely (prep for colonoscopy) through the NG. My question is: How fast should I be giving the prep (there is a gallon of liquid)? Should I give at intervals of 20 minutes per 8 oz? Fortunately I spoke with the patient and she agreed to drink the prep versus the NG tube (smart woman!) I would like to get some feedback for future reference. Thank you!:nurse:

In this particular case, the patient stated she would accept the NG tube if she was unable to drink the prep. Of course, if the patient refused then I would notify the physican. I always advise patients that they have the right to refuse any procedure ordered for them.
