  • Title: [Present situation of nurses and patients in the sampling of feces for fecal occult blood test].
    Author: Kurihara Y, Yoshida H.
    Journal: Rinsho Byori; 1991 Jan; 39(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 2008043.
    Abstract:
    Ninety-five nurses in 4 hospitals and 45 hospitalized patients were asked on the sampling of feces for the fecal occult blood test. Eighty percent of the nurses understood the role and significance of the fecal occult test, however, most of them did not explain the exact way of sampling feces to the patient. About 70% of the patients had not been explained by any medical staff how to collect the feces, but they seemed to find an appropriate way of sampling.
