A patient who was complaining of a headache is being transported to the hospital. After you provide a report to the emergency department, the patient begins to unexpectedly seize. The seizure lasts for 1-2 minutes and then stops, but now you notice the patient's eyes have become unequal in size. You are still 5 minutes from the hospital. After providing care for the seizure, your next action should be to:

A) Continue care and transport to the hospital
B) Call the hospital and inform its staff of the seizure
C) Contact family via cell phone and determine whether the patient has a history of seizures
D) Document the seizure on the prehospital care report
