Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Urine, nasal, and wound cultures can be collected at any time because they are easily accessible to the nurse. Sputum cultures require the client to cough secretions from the lung. Coughing is often most productive in the morning.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

A positive guaiac stool test is indicative of blood in the stool, which could be the result of colon cancer, rectal irritation, or bleeding stomach ulcers. It would not indicate the presence of HIV/AIDS, although it could be the result of a complication from the disease.
