Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Narcotics may cause constipation. Over-the-counter pain relievers, sleep aids, and oral contraceptives do not affect elimination patterns.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
For a stool culture the stool is collected immediately after defecation. With vaginal bleeding, it is possible that menstrual blood could mix with the stool during defecation. The small bowel series, barium enema, and colonoscopy will not be impacted by menstrual bleeding.
