Answer to Question 1

If you have not already done so, it is important to see if a urine specimen is needed. If the examiner orders a sample to be collected, explain to the patient the proper way to obtain the specimen.

Answer to Question 2

You can use a measuring tape to measure height and a wheelchair scale to measure weight. Zero out the wheelchair scale and then weigh the wheelchair separately. Subtract the wheelchair weight from the total weight calculated on the scale.
