Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing instructions about a 24-hr urine collection to an adolescent client. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A. Discarding the first voided specimen is necessary to ensure accuracy in a 24-hour urine collection. This helps eliminate any urine that has been in the bladder prior to the start of the collection period. B. Voiding every hour is not necessary for a 24-hour urine collection. The goal is to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period, not voiding at set intervals. C. Cleansing the perineum with a povidone-iodine solution prior to voiding is not typically necessary for a 24-hour urine collection unless specifically instructed by the healthcare provider. D. Saving the final specimen in a separate container is not necessary for a 24-hour urine collection. All urine produced during the specified collection period should be saved in the same container.
