Answer to Question 1

D
Severe abdominal pain, bloody currant jelly diarrhea, and fever are common clinical manifestations of intussusception. Hirschsprung's disease usually manifests as bowel obstruction. Severe abdominal pain, bloody currant jelly diarrhea, and fever are not common symptoms of celiac disease. Although a child with a ruptured appendix will probably be febrile, the other symptoms are not indicative of a ruptured appendix.

Answer to Question 2

C
Diffuse abdominal pain unrelated to activity or meals is a common clinical manifestation of irritable bowel syndrome. Normal physical growth and development usually occur with this disorder. Constipation may occur with irritable bowel syndrome, usually alternating with diarrhea.
