What is the proper procedure for handling a stool specimen for isolation?

  1. Label the specimen properly

  2. Double bag the specimen

  3. Use a single bag

  4. Freeze the specimen immediately

The correct answer is: Double bag the specimen

Bagging of the stool specimen twice minimizes the risk for contamination and spread of any potential pathogens. Labeling the specimen properly and using a single bag may not provide enough protection against contamination. Freezing the specimen immediately is not necessary and may actually interfere with the isolation process.
