Correct Answer: 1
An early morning specimen is preferred. The patient should not touch the inside of the cup or lid. The specimen should be refrigerated. The laboratory should know the patient's current medications.

The patient is demonstrating signs of a urinary tract infection. A urine culture is conducted to identify the causative organism of a UTI. BUN and serum creatinine are used to evaluate kidney function. Urine osmolality is used to evaluate fluid balance.
