Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to begin a 24-hour urine collection for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Discard the first voiding when beginning the test
Rationale:
✳️ Discarding the first void ensures the 24-hour urine test starts with an empty bladder, providing a precise starting point.
✳️ This helps eliminate residual urine from prior hours that could distort results.
✳️ All subsequent urine should be collected in the designated container to capture full 24-hour output.
✳️ This protocol aids in evaluating kidney function, hormone levels, and protein excretion accurately.
✳️ It's crucial for diagnosing renal or endocrine disorders based on full-day urine chemistry.
