Urinalysis and Body Fluids Exam Practice
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)

1. After receiving a 24-hour urine for quantitative total protein analysis, the technician

must first:


a: subculture the urine for bacteria


b: add the appropriate preservative


c: screen for albumin with a dipstick


d: measure the total volume - ✔️✔️d: measure the total volume; Measure the total volume

of the sample before removing an aliquot. To calculate the total protein, measure the

protein of an aliquot to learn the mg/dL. Then multiply that answer by the number of dL

in the 24-hour collection.


False results in urobilinogen testing may occur if the urine specimen is:


a: exposed to light


b: adjusted to a neutral pH


c: cooled to room temperature

d: collected in a nonsterile container - ✔️✔️a: exposed to light; Urobilinogen is degraded

by light.


A clean-catch urine is submitted to the laboratory for routine urinalysis and culture. The

routine analysis is done first, and 3 hours later, the specimen is sent to the microbiology

department for culture. The specimen should:


a: be centrifuged and the supernantant cultured


b: be rejected due to the time delay


c: not be cultured if no bacteria are seen


d: be processed for culture only if nitrite is positive - ✔️✔️b: rejected due to the time

delay; It is common practice to share samples between the microbiology department

and urinalysis. Ideally, the culture is set up first to prevent contamination. If that is not

feasible timewise, the sample should be aliquotted using aseptic technique, and

refrigerated until it can be cultured.


which of the following urine results is most apt to be changed by prolonged exposure to

light?


a: pH


b: protein


c: ketones

d: bilirubin - ✔️✔️d: bilirubin; Bilirubin and urobilinogen are degraded by light, the other

analytes will not be affected.


Urine samples should be examined within 1 hour of voiding because:


a: RBCs, leukocytes and casts agglutinate on standing for several hours at room

temperature


b: urobilinogen increases and bilirubin decreases after prolonged exposure to light


c: bacterial contamination will cause alkalinization of the urine


d: ketones will increase due to bacterial and cellular metabolism - ✔️✔️c: bacterial

contamination will cause alkalinization of the urine; Evaluate each statement. A) is

incorrect because these cells don't agglutinate, b) is partially correct, but urobilinogen

decreases in light. C) is true because bacterial overgrowth does lead to an alkaline

urine. D) is false because ketones are produced by fat metabolism in the patient


MLS 6. The following results were obtained on a urine specimen at 8:00 AM: pH=5.5,

protein=2+, glucose =3+, ketones= 3+, blood= negative, bilirubin=positive,

nitrite=positive


If this urine was stored uncapped at 5 degrees C without preservation and retested at 2

PM, which of the following test results would be changed due to these storage

conditions?


a: glucose

b: ketones


c: protein


d: nitrite - ✔️✔️b: ketones; The sample is mistreated by being uncapped. It is refrigerated,

which will prevent bacteria from reproducing(so D is incorrect), and from metabolizing

glucose(so A is incorrect). Ketones can evaporate, but protein will not.


7. A urine specimen comes to the laboratory 7 hours after it is obtained. It is acceptable

for culture only if the specimen has been stored:


a: at room temperature


b: at 4-7 degrees Celsius


c: frozen


d: with a preservative additive - ✔️✔️b: at 4-7 degrees Celsius; Storage must inhibit

bacterial growth but not kill the bacteria. For this reason freezing and additives are not

acceptable. The most common method of preservation is refrigeration.


Which of the following would be affected by allowing a urine specimen to remain at

room temperature for 3 hours before analysis?


a: occult blood


b: specific gravity


c: pH
