Can urine contaminate a stool sample?

  1. It is unlikely

  2. No

  3. Only in large amounts

  4. Yes

The correct answer is: It is unlikely

Urine can contaminate a stool sample due to the proximity of the two substances in the body, but it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the results. While it is possible for a small amount of urine to mix with the stool, it is unlikely to cause major contamination. Option B, "No," is incorrect because urine can potentially contaminate a stool sample. Option C, "Only in large amounts," is also incorrect because even a small amount of urine can potentially contaminate the sample. Option D, "Yes," is incorrect because the question is asking for the likelihood of contamination, not a definitive answer of yes or no.
