What is the indication of hematemesis?

  1. Blood in urine

  2. Blood in saliva

  3. Blood in vomit

  4. Blood in stool

The correct answer is: Blood in vomit

Hematemesis is a medical term used to describe the act of vomiting blood. Blood in urine (A) or saliva (B) would not be an indication of hematemesis, as urine and saliva are not typically associated with the digestive tract where bleeding would occur. Additionally, blood in stool (D) would not be an indication of hematemesis, as that would be more closely related to a lower digestive issue rather than an upper digestive issue where vomiting occurs. C is the most accurate and specific indication of hematemesis.
