Family history

Because intussusception is not believed to have a familial tendency. obtaining a family history would provide the least amount of information.Options A. B. and D: Stool inspection. pain pattern. and abdominal palpation would reveal possible indicators of intussusception. Current. jelly-like stools containing blood and mucus are an indication of intussusception. Acute. episodic abdominal pain is characteristics of intussusception. A sausage-shaped mass may be palpated in the right upper quadrant.
