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.
Clean technique is used for collection.
Tests for measuring the output of fecal fat, not tests for occult blood, require a three- to five-day collection of stool.
