A
Response:
It is important to double check whether the girl has any allergies because the test is contraindicated in children allergic to shellfish or iodine. Adequate hydration is also important, but checking for allergies is a priority. Only females of reproductive age must be screened for pregnancy. An enema is not necessary at all institutions.
