C. QuestionsA 35-year old diabetic is suspected of developing renal insufficiency. What type of urine collection will be performed in this case? Why?

A 24-hour timed specimen is the type of urine collection for this case because it checks the function of the kidneys and detects the disease. Urine samples are collected in one or more containers over a period of 24 hours. The containers are kept in a cool environment and then sent to a lab for analysis.C. Questions2. What special preparation will you recommend for a pregnant women subjected for urinalysis? Explain your answer.

A clean-catch midstream specimen of urine will be asked from a pregnant woman subjected for analysis. It provides a specimen that is less contaminated by epithelial cells and bacteria and, therefore, is more representative of the actual urine than the routinely voided specimen.

2. What special preparation will you recommend for a pregnant women subjected for urinalysis? Explain your answer.

Pregnant patients should separate the labia and clean the urinary meatus and surrounding area. When cleansing is complete, patients are to void first into the toilet, then collect an adequate amount of urine in the sterile container, and finish voiding into the toilet. Care should be taken not to contaminate the specimen container.ContC. Questions3. A 24-hour urine collection received in the laboratory for creatinine analysis has a volume of 500 mL.a.) Should this specimen be accepted? Why or why not?No, the specimen should be analyzed and the volume reported. Persons with decreased glomerular filtration rates may also exhibit oliguria.C. Questions3. A 24-hour urine collection received in the laboratory for creatinine analysis has a volume of 500 mL.b.) State a possible source of error, if the creatinine concentration per 24 hour is abnormally low.

Failure to collect a complete specimen will result in a low clearance rate not related to renal function.

D. Conclusions/Reflection of the ActivityStandard procedure for collection of urine should be followed to have accurate and precise results. A simple error can make the result inaccurate and imprecise. There is a specific type of urine collection to different cases/ tests.END
