Question 1 of 5
A nurse is initiating a 24-hour urine collection for a client at home. What will be the first thing the nurse will ask the client to do at the beginning of the specimen collection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Void and discard the urine. The rationale is that in a 24-hour urine collection, the nurse needs to ensure accurate results by starting with an empty bladder to avoid contaminating the sample with urine that has been in the bladder for a while. Discarding the first voiding helps establish the baseline for the collection period. This step ensures that the collected urine is representative of the client's urinary output over the specified 24-hour period. The other choices are incorrect because adding the first voiding (
B) would introduce inaccurate data, keeping the urine warm (
C) is unnecessary for most tests, and beginning the collection at a specific time (
D) may not align with the client's natural urination pattern.
