quantitative total protein analysis, the
tech must first:
A. subcultured the urine for bacteria
B. add the appropriate preservative
C. screen for albumin
D. measure the total volume
False results in urobilinogen testing A (exposed to light)
may occur if the urine specimen is:
A. exposed to light
B. adjusted to a neutral pH
C. cooled to room temp
D. collected in a non sterile container
A clean-catch urine is submitted to the B (be rejected due to the time delay)
lab for routine UA and culture. The

later, the specimen is sent to the micro
dept for culture. The specimen should:
A. be centrifuged, and the
supernatant cultured
B. be rejected due to the time delay
C. not be cultured if no bacteria are
seen
D. be processed for culture only if the
nitrate is pos

most apt to be changed by prolonged
exposure to light?
A. pH
B. protein
C. ketones
D. bilirubin
Urine samples should be examined C (bacterial contamination will cause alkalization of
within 1 hour of voiding because: the urine)
A. RBC's, leukocytes and casts
agglutinate on standing for several
hours at room temp
B. urobilinogen increases and bilirubin
decreases after prolonged exposure
to light
C. bacterial contamination will cause
alkalization of the urine
D. ketones will increase due to
bacterial and cellular metabolism

specific gravity
C. pale urine with a low specific
gravity
D. dark urine with a high specific
gravity

baby's urine, the tech notices the
specimen to have a "mousy" odor. OF
the following substances that may be
excreted in urine, the one that MOST
characteristically produces this odor
