Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A barium enema is the treatment of choice for intussusception because the passage of the barium frequently un-telescopes the bowel. Surgery is scheduled only if reduction is not achieved.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Bowel movements of blood and mucus that contain no feces (currant jelly stools) are common about 12 hours after the onset of the obstruction.
