Question 1 of 5
The nurse performing a fecal occult blood test should take what action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Report a positive finding to the provider. This is important because a positive fecal occult blood test result may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which could be a sign of serious conditions such as colorectal cancer. Reporting this finding promptly allows the healthcare provider to further investigate and provide appropriate treatment.
Donning sterile disposable gloves (
B) is important for infection control but not specifically for performing a fecal occult blood test. Testing the quality control section before testing the stool specimen (
C) is essential for accuracy but does not address the immediate action needed for a positive finding. Applying liberal amounts of stool to the guaiac paper (
D) is incorrect as it can lead to false positives.
