Answer to Question 1

C
Embarrassment and stress from chronic diarrhea are real concerns for the adolescent with inflammatory bowel disease. Antidiarrheal medications are not typically ordered for a child with inflammatory bowel disease. Long-term complications are not a priority concern for the adolescent with inflammatory bowel disease. Exacerbations may interfere with school attendance, but home schooling is not a usual consideration for the adolescent with inflammatory bowel disease.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pressure on the bowel from obstruction leads to passage of currant jelly stools. Ribbon-like stools are characteristic of Hirschsprung's disease. With intussusception, passage of bloody mucus stools occurs. Stools will not be hard. Loose, foul-smelling stools may indicate infectious gastroenteritis.
