Answer to Question 1

guaiac
A common test performed on fecal material is the guaiac test for fecal occult blood.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because babies swallow large amounts of air while sucking, it is normal to expect flatus. Make sure that the pouch can accommodate increased amounts of flatus after feeding, or be prepared to release flatus frequently. The skin of a preterm infant is not fully developed and is more absorbent than the skin of a full-term infant. Do not use skin sealants and adhesive removers unless they are approved for preterm infant use. Neonates may have multiple stomas on their tiny abdomens that are the result of corrective bowel surgeries. Select a cut-to-fit pouch that allows multiple stoma openings in the skin barrier yet still fits on the neonate's abdomen. Usually, a baby triples its birth weight in the first year. As a baby grows in size, so does the stoma.
