Question 5 of 5
The nurse is reviewing with a client how to collect a clean catch urine specimen. What is the appropriate sequence to teach the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A clean catch urine is difficult to obtain and requires clear directions. Instructing the client to carefully clean the meatus, then void naturally with a steady stream prevents surface bacteria from contaminating the urine specimen. As starting and stopping flow can be difficult, once the client begins voiding it's best to just slip the container into the stream. Other responses do not reflect correct technique.
