The macroscopic examination for receipt and review of specimens should include all of the following:

a. type of container, leakage, blood or mucus present.
b. type of container, blood or mucus present, consistency and color.
c. leakage, blood or mucus present, viscosity for fluids, color and consistency.
d. type of container, blood or mucus present, viscosity for fluids, and color.


D
The type of container is typically not relevant unless it is the incorrect contain for the sample collected and affects the integrity of the specimen. Viscosity and consistency are similar terms and may be utilized for various specimen sources; viscosity for liquids and consistency for stools. Therefore, the most correct and specific answer is C as it considers multiple types of specimens and the question as written does not delineate a specific specimen type and there is no informa-tion related to type of specimen to consider the type of container.
