Application)
1. "The requisitions accompanying the urine specimens indicate that all three require a UA. Rosa performs the physical analysis and notes that Mrs. Carpenter's urine, which requires the pregnancy test, is amber, whereas the other two specimens are pale yellow. What are possible explanations for Rosa's observations? Should Rosa be concerned about the darker color of Mrs. Carpenter's urine? Should she document this in the patient's electronic health record (EHR) so that Dr. Hill is alerted?
2. Ms. Hillman's urine is turbid, whereas Mr. Parks's urine is clear. What might be causing the cloudiness in Ms. Hillman's urine? Is a cloudy urine cause for concern?"
When performing a urine test, what are some of signs that you must look for? Is the colour of the urine important? Should it be recorded? What are some of the other indicators (signs and smells) that might indicate problems patient might have?
*Student demonstrates full understanding of urinalysis ans types of tests
*Student recognizes and is able to differentiate between normal urine and abnormal urine.
