Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Report a positive finding to the provider. A positive guaiac test indicates the presence of blood in the stool, which may suggest gastrointestinal bleeding, colorectal cancer, or other GI disorders. It must be reported for further evaluation.

B. Don sterile disposable gloves. Sterile gloves are not required. Clean gloves are sufficient because this is a non-sterile procedure.

C. Test the quality control section before testing the stool specimen. There is no quality control section on a fecal occult blood test. The test involves applying stool to a guaiac card and adding developer.

D. Apply liberal amounts of stool to the guaiac paper. Only a thin smear of stool is required; too much stool may interfere with accurate test results.

A. Urine output of 80 mL/hr B. Specific gravity of 1.036 C. pH of 6.4 D. Protein level of 2 mg/100 mL

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Urine output of 80 mL/hr: Normal urine output is 30–50 mL/hr. A urine output of 80 mL/hr is within an acceptable range and does not indicate a problem.

B. Specific gravity of 1.036: Normal urine specific gravity ranges from 1.005 to 1.030. A level of 1.036 indicates dehydration or concentrated urine, which requires further assessment.

C. pH of 6.4: Normal urine pH ranges from 4.5 to 8.0, with an average around 6.0. A pH of 6.4 is within normal limits and does not require follow-up.

D. Protein level of 2 mg/100 mL: Normal urine protein is less than 8 mg/100 mL, so 2 mg/100 mL is within normal limits and does not indicate a concern.
