A physician has ordered the nurse to collect a urine specimen from a client. Which specimens most likely needs to be stored at a cold temperature before transport to the laboratory?
 
  A) Catheterized urine specimen
  B) 24-hour fractional urine specimen
  C) Clean-catch urine specimen
  D) Single-voided urine specimen

Question 2

Nurses must understand and practice proper body mechanics and often need to teach clients the use of proper body mechanics for safe walking and movement.
 
  The nurse is teaching a client to lift an object by bending at the knees and hips and keeping the back straight. When the client follows this advice, which principle of body mechanics is being followed to maintain balance? A) Center of gravity
  B) Line of gravity
  C) Base of support
  D) Gravital plane

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The 24-hour fractional urine specimen should be stored in a refrigerator during the collection period. The catheterized urine specimen, clean-catch urine specimen, and single-voided urine specimen should be transported to the laboratory immediately after collection and should not be stored.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When lifting an object, bend at the knees and hips and keep the back straight. By doing so, the center of gravity remains over the feet, giving extra stability. It is thus easier to maintain balance. A person's feet provide the base of support. The wider the base of support, the more stable the object, within limits. Draw an imaginary vertical (up and down) line through the top of the head, the center of gravity, and the base of support. This becomes the line of gravity, or the gravital plane

Thanks for the timely response, appreciate it
