URINALYSIS AND BODY FLUIDS LATEST EXAMS
PAPER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔When identifying urinary crystals, which reagent strip results is most important? -
✔✔pH
✔✔Bacteria are considered significant in the urine sediment when the _______. -
✔✔leukocytes is positive
✔✔What exhibits rapid motility in urine sediment? - ✔✔Trichomonas vaginalis
✔✔What positive chemical reaction is most closely associated with the presence of
yeast in the urine sediment? - ✔✔glucose
✔✔A 21 year old woman had glucose in her urine with a normal blood sugar. These
findings are most consistent with _______. - ✔✔renal glycosuria
✔✔A 59 year old man is evaluated for back pain. Urine studies (urinalysis by multiple
reagent strip) include:
urinalysis
specific gravity: 1.017
pH: 6.5
, protein: negative
glucose: negative
blood: negative
microscopic findings
rare epithelial cells
urine protein electrophoresis
monoclonal spike in gamma globulin region
What best explains these results? - ✔✔urine protein is falsely negative because the
method is not sensitive for Bence Jones protein
✔✔The results of a urinalysis on a first morning specimen are:
urinalysis
specific gravity: 1.024
pH: 8.5
protein: negative
glucose: negative
microscopic findings
uric acid crystals
The next step is to repeat the ______. - ✔✔pH and microscopic examination
✔✔The following urinalysis results were obtained from an 18 year old woman in labor:
pH: 6.5
protein: 30 mg/dL
glucose: 250 mg/dL
ketones: negative
bilirubin: small (color slightly abnormal)
blood: negative
nitrite: negative
urobilinogen: 0.1 EU/dL
specific gravity: 1.025
copper reduction test: 1.0 g/dL
What is the most likely explanation for the patient's positive copper reduction test? -
✔✔glucose and possibly other reducing substances/sugars are present
✔✔The following urine results were obtained on a 25 year old female:
pH: 7.0
color: yellow
appearance: cloudy
protein: 1+
glucose: negative
blood: small
specific gravity: 1.015
microscopic findings
bacteria: many
WBC casts: 0-3/lpf
WBC/hpt: 30-40
