Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Most people assume the squatting or slightly forward-sitting position with the thighs flexed to defecate. These positions result in increased pressure on the abdomen and downward pressure on the rectum to facilitate defecation. Obtaining the same results when seated on a bedpan is difficult.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Outbreaks of food poisoning can result in severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Severe abdominal cramping followed by watery or bloody diarrhea may signal a microbial infection, which can be confirmed by a stool sample.
