A nurse is instructing a female client on how to collect a midstream urine sample. Which statement from the client indicates they understand the procedure?,Which statement indicates understanding of midstream urine sample collection?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B. By urinating a little first and then stopping, the client can discard the initial stream that may contain contaminants from the urethra, ensuring a more accurate midstream sample. Cleaning the container with a wipe (A) does not pertain to the collection process. Using cleansing wipes twice (C) risks contamination. Using the wipe from front to back (D) is not relevant to urine sample collection.
