Answer to Question 1

B
If the patient experiences bleeding from the rectum, the anal and perianal regions should be assessed to locate the source of the bleeding. Observe for the presence of perianal skin irritation. The presence of such indicates the need for postprocedure skin care to the perianal region to reduce pain during subsequent bowel elimination. After the procedure, assist the patient to the toilet or onto a clean bedpan. Removal of impaction stimulates the defecation reflex. The sacral branch of the vagus nerve is stimulated during digital stimulation; this may result in reflex slowing of the heart rate. Stop the procedure and retake vital signs.

Answer to Question 2

C
When neither A nor B antigens are present, the blood group is type O. When the type A antigen is present, the blood group is type A. When the type B antigen is present, the blood group is type B. When both A and B antigens are present, the blood group is type AB.
