Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a stool guaiac test. The client asks the nurse about the purpose of the test. The nurse should respond by stating that the stool guaiac is testing for which of the following findings in the client's feces?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Blood. The stool guaiac test, also known as the fecal occult blood test, is used to detect the presence of hidden (occult) blood in the stool. Blood in the stool can be a sign of various gastrointestinal conditions such as bleeding ulcers, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease. The test involves applying a solution (guaiac) to a stool sample, and a color change indicates the presence of blood. Parasites (
A), bacteria (
C), and fat (
D) are not typically detected through a stool guaiac test. Blood is the primary focus of this specific test due to its significance in identifying potential gastrointestinal issues.
