Thank you for the post. It was hilarious.

I'm only a SPN (Student Practical Nurse) and I can actually understand what it means! I'm going to print it out and share it with all my nursing friends. Yeah!

Guaiac is what we call the test we do for occult (hidden) blood in a patient's stool. So you might not see actual blood but if the guaiac (also sometimes called hemoccult) is postive, it means they are bleeding somewhere in their GI tract.
