Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There should be no blood present as well as no ketones.
Rationale 2: The urine should be an amber color, not dark amber. For an adult, normal output range is 1,200-1,500 mL in 24 hours.
Rationale 3: Normal pH is 4.5-8, so a pH of 6 and no glucose present are two normal characteristics of urine.
Rationale 4: Specific gravity of 1.035 does not fall within the normal range of 1.010-1.025, but a faint aromatic odor is normal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: An elevated specific gravity is seen in dehydration.
Rationale 2: The glucose would be elevated in diabetic ketoacidosis.
Rationale 3: Blood would be present in trauma.
Rationale 4: The pH, glucose, specific gravity, and protein are all within normal limits. Urine is usually clear to slightly cloudy, and WBC count can be from 0-4. Therefore, the gross cloudiness and WBC count of 10-15 are not normal, indicating a urinary tract infection.
