Answer to Question 1

C
Diagnosing a parasitic infection requires three different stool specimens on subsequent days. Use only normal saline or tap water enemas to prevent alteration of results.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Renal calculi are associated with fever, pain, and hematuria. BPH and testicular cancer are unlikely to cause hematuria and bladder cancer is more commonly painless.
