Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
If a stool specimen is for ova and parasites, do not refrigerate it because refrigeration destroys the organisms to be analyzed. The specimen needs to arrive in the laboratory in less than 1 hour after collection so the parasites can be readily detected. Alcohol should not be added to the specimen container. The color of the stool sample is of no consequence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Before moving forward with preparation for a diagnostic test, the nurse needs to determine the child's knowledge about a test or similar tests. Pointing out a child's past experience with similar procedures can lay a foundation for increased cooperation. The parents do not necessarily have to participate in this teaching. Learning the time of the test can be done later. Checking the child's medical record will not help with the child's learning needs at this present time.
