Feedback
A Infoway has a mandate to drive forward a national agenda to create an EHR.

C Advocating for effective health policy is associated with the ICN and is not the mandate for Canada Health Infoway.
D Canada Health Infoway has a mandate to generate consensus on health information standards. They do not have a role in mandating implementation of provincial standards.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Clean technique is used for collection.
B Tests for measuring the output of fecal fat, not tests for occult blood, require a three- to five-day collection of stool.
C The specimen does not have to be kept warm for an occult blood test. Tests that measure for ova and parasites require the stool to be warm.
D Tests performed by the laboratory for occult blood in the stool and stool cultures require only a small sample. The nurse collects about 2.5 cm of formed stool or 15 to 30 mL of liquid stool.
