The HCP orders cultures of the urethral urine, bladder urine, and prostatic fluid. Which instructions should the nurse teach to achieve the first two (2) specimens?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Urethral (first 15 mL) and bladder (midstream 50 mL) urine are collected sequentially to differentiate infection sites. Early-morning specimens, post-prostate massage, or routine urine are incorrect.
