Question 1 of 5
Which description of a stool is characteristic of intussusception?
Correct Answer: A

Choice C is incorrect as hard stools positive for guaiac indicate possible gastrointestinal bleeding, not intussusception.
Choice D is incorrect as ribbon-like stools are more indicative of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
