Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
The child with intussusception often exhibits currant jelly-like stools that may or may not be positive for blood. Greasy stools are associated with celiac disease. Clay-colored stools are observed with biliary atresia. Bloody stools can be seen with several
gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Staying healthy is a major way to reduce one's risk for cancer. Cholesterol should be checked annually starting at age 45 . Blood pressure should be evaluated at least every 2 years. Pap smears are recommended every 1 to 3 years for sexually active women between the ages of 21 and 65 . Alcohol should be consumed in moderation (not more than one drink per day), if at all.
