Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Neutrophils and red blood cells in stool indicate bacterial gastroenteritis. Protein intolerance and parasitic infections are suspected in the presence of eosinophils. Occult blood may indicate pathogens such as Shigella, Campylobacter, or hemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains. A pH of less than 6 may indicate carbohydrate malabsorption or secondary lactase insufficiency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
G. lamblia is a parasite that represents 10 of non-dysenteric illness in the United States. Shigella, Salmonella, and E. coli are bacterial pathogens.
