BOC Urinalysis / Body Fluids
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
1) After receiving a 24 hr. 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 using a dipstick


d. measure the total volume


✓ d (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.)




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


a. exposed to light


b. adjusted to a neutral pH


c. cooled to room temp


d. collected in a nonsterile container


✓ a (Urobilinogen is degraded by light.)

3) A clean catch urine is submitted to laboratory for routine urinalysis and

culture. The routine urinalysis is done first, and 3 hrs. later, the specimen is sent

to the microbiology department for culture. The specimen should:


a. be centrifuged, and the supernatant culture


b. be rejected due to the time delay


c. not be cultured if no bacteria are seen


d. be processed for culture only if the nitrate is positive


✓ b (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 time wise, the sample should be

aliquotted using aseptic technique, and refrigerated until it can be

cultured.)




4) 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 is degraded by light. The other analytes will not be

affected.)




5) Urine samples should be examined within 1 hr. of voiding because:


a. RBC's, leukocytes and casts agglutinate on standing for several hrs. at

room temp


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 (Evaluate each statement. a is incorrect because these cells don't

agglutinate. b is partially correct, but urobilinogen decreases in light. c

is true, bacterial overgrowth does lead to an alkaline urine. d is false,

ketones are produced by fat metabolism in the patient.)




6) If a urine specimen was stored uncapped at 5 degrees C without

preservation and retested at 2pm which of the following test results would be

changed due to these storage conditions?


A. glucose


B. ketones


C. protein

D. nitrite


✓ Ketones




7) A urine specimen comes to the laboratory 7 hrs. after it is obtained. It is

acceptable for culture only if the specimen has been stored:


a. at room temp


b. at 4 - 7 C


c. frozen


d. with a preservative additive


✓ b (Storage must inhibit bacterial growth but not kill the bacteria.

Freezing and additives are not acceptable. The most commonly used

method of preservation is refrigeration.)




8) Which of the following would be affected by allowing a urine specimen to

remain at room temp for 3 hrs. before analysis:


a. occult blood


b. specific gravity


c. pH


d. protein
