Personal careQuestion 1249 of 1700
For a gFOBT, from how many places in the stool do you take samples?
- One part of the stool only, from the top
- Three parts from the bag in the specimen cup
- Two different parts of the stool
- The urine and the stool, mixed on one card
Show answer
Correct answer: Two different parts of the stool
Blood is not spread evenly in the stool, so two samples from different parts go on the card.
