Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Black is abnormal.
Rationale 2: Cylindrical in contour is a normal characteristic of feces because it takes the shape of the rectum.
Rationale 3: Pungent is abnormal, but aromatic odor is normal.
Rationale 4: Yellow is the color of an infant's feces, not an adult's.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Pain medication contributes to constipation, especially those that are opiates.
Rationale 2: Decreasing fluid intake further contributes to constipation.
Rationale 3: Refusing to eat bran flakes would also promote constipation.
Rationale 4: Increased activity like walking promotes gastric motility, which increases bowel function.
