Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bacteria in the urine along with other symptoms support a diagnosis of urinary tract infection. Crystals would be seen with renal stone formation. Casts indicate renal disease. Protein indicates kidney function and damage to the glomerular membrane such as in glomerulonephritis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient should hold the labia apart to reduce bacterial levels in the specimen. The urethral meatus should be cleansed from the area of least contamination to greatest contamination (or front to back). The initial stream flushes out microorganisms in the urethra and prevents bacterial transmission in the specimen. Drink fluids 30 minutes before giving a specimen.
