10. A 54 Yeаr Old Heаlthy Mаle presents tо yоur оffice with intermittent episodes of rectal bleeding over the past 2 weeks. Initially, he noted only small streaks of blood on the tissue when wiping, but yesterday after straining for a BM he dripped bright red blood after defecating and the stool was coated with blood. The stool itself is brown in color (not black). The patient has had no rectal or abdominal pain, anorexia, weight loss, or changes in bowel pattern. The perianal skin shows no abnormalities. No mass or tenderness is palpable but evidence of external hemorrhoid is seen on digital rectal examination. Patient denies any family history of colon cancer. What recommendation does the medical provider make?
