Question 1 of 5
A patient's urine specimen tested positive for bilirubin. Which of the following is most true?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bilirubin is easily broken down by light, so all samples testing positive for bilirubin should be protected from light exposure. Storing the specimen in an area protected from light helps maintain the integrity of the bilirubin levels for accurate testing.
Choice A is incorrect because the presence of bilirubin in urine does not necessarily indicate kidney disease.
Choice B is incorrect as the exposure to light, not room temperature, affects bilirubin levels.
Choice C is incorrect as the presence of bilirubin does not indicate the presence of bacteria in the specimen.
