Answer to Question 1

A
Missed specimens make the whole collection inaccurate. The test must be restarted.
The urine specimen is kept in a collection container, which may contain preservatives, or the urine may be kept in a collection container on ice. The urine specimen being kept cold is not a reason to restart a timed urine collection.
It is true that the first voided urine should be discarded; however, this is not a reason to restart a timed urine collection. The timed period begins after the client urinates. The first voided urine is discarded, and then the timed collection begins.
The urine specimen is kept in a collection container, which may contain preservatives.

Answer to Question 2

D
When nursing students work as nursing assistants or nurse's aides when not attending classes, they should not perform tasks that do not appear in a job description for a nurse's aide or assistant. The nursing student should always follow the directions of the nurse, unless doing so violates the institution's guidelines or job description under which the nursing student was hired. The nursing student should be able to safely complete the procedures delegated as a nursing assistant, and reviewing those not done recently is a good idea, but it has nothing to do with the situation. This option does not address the situation that the nursing student acted outside the job description for the nursing assistant position. The focus of the discussion between the nursing faculty member and the nursing student should be on following the job description under which the nursing student is working.
