A relevant patient history and appropriate further investigations should be performed if an abnormal result is obtained. Urinalysis provides results within minutes and may aid the detection of a number of diseases including:  \n• Diabetes  \n• Renal Stones  \n• Urinary Tract Infection  \nInfection Control Protocols  \nPlease refer to the prevention and control of infection manual for updates or changes in policies or procedures locally or nationally.  \nResponsibilities  \n• Healthcare workers must adhere to the prevention and control of infections policy.  \n• Healthcare workers immunisation must be up to date. All HCW’s involved in specimen collection must be immunised against the Hepatitis B virus.  \n• Ensure all equipment used is safe and leak proof specimen containers are used.  \nStandard Precautions  \n• All cuts and abrasions must be covered with waterproof dressings  \n• Wear gloves when in contact with blood or body fluid contamination  \n• If there is a risk of splash, face protection must be worn  \n• Wash hands after procedure regardless of whether gloves are used.  \n• All spillages of blood and body fluids must be decontaminated appropriately.  \nReason for specimen collection  \n• To aid diagnosis of a disease  \n• For the purpose of screening in health to facilitate cancer diagnosis, staging and type.  \n• To monitor the effects of treatment.  \n• To permit laboratory culture to identify pathogenic micro-organisms and determine drug sensitivity.  \nTypes of specimens collected  \n• Mid stream specimen of urine (MSSU)  \n• Catheter specimen of urine (CSU)  \nMid-Stream Specimen of Urine (MSSU)  \nAn MSSU must be obtained in a bottle containing boric acid. These are normally red top bottles. When collecting the specimen you should request that the patient attends to personal hygiene in the genitalia area prior to collection.  \nThe patient is asked to commence passing urine initially, and then collect a small sample into a sterile bowl before allowing the patient to pass the remainder into the toilet or a bedpan. The urine is then transferred into the specimen container.  \nEquipment required for mid-stream urine specimen:  \nCATHETER SPECIMEN OF URINE (CSU)  \nThe following equipment is necessary to obtain a CSU: -  \n• Disposable gloves  \n• A sterile needle  \n• A sterile syringe  \n• Two alcohol-impregnated swabs  \n• A boric acid urine container (red top bottle)  \n• Sharps disposal bin  \nProcedure  \n• Explain the procedure to the patient and ensure that you have obtained consent  \n• Carry out hand hygiene  \n• Apply disposable gloves  \n• Wipe the catheter sampling point with an alcohol-impregnated swab  \n• Connect the needle and syringe and insert into the sampling point. Gently withdraw the required amount of urine necessary for the test.  \n• Transfer the urine into a sampling bottle immediately  \n• Dispose of the sharp into a sharps disposal unit immediately after filling the urine container. Ensure the container lid is sealed prior to moving the specimen. Excess urine maybe disposed of into the toilet bowl.  \n• The sampling port should be wiped with an alcohol-impregnated swab atthe end of the procedure  \n• Dispose of equipment into a waterproof bag and place it into the patients outside bin  \n• Hand hygiene must be carried out following procedure  \n• Ensure that the specimen container is labelled with the correct ","cbCaihc9GDCcwUw5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihc9GDCcwUw5","pdf",5896126,21,"English","# Learning Objectives\n# Introduction\n# Infection Control Protocols\n# Responsibilities\n# Standard Precautions\n# Reason for specimen collection\n# Types of specimens collected\n# Mid-Stream Specimen of Urine (MSSU)\n# Catheter Specimen of Urine (CSU)\n# Procedure\n# Specimen Collection","[{\"question\":\"Why is infection control important when performing a simple urinalysis?\",\"answer\":\"The document emphasizes adhering to infection prevention and control protocols to reduce infection risk during specimen collection and handling.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main reasons for collecting a urine specimen?\",\"answer\":\"Urine specimens support diagnosis, screening for cancer diagnosis and staging, monitoring treatment effects, and enabling laboratory culture to identify pathogens and determine drug sensitivity.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between MSSU and CSU specimen collection?\",\"answer\":\"MSSU is collected as a mid-stream urine sample into a container with boric acid after personal hygiene steps, while CSU is obtained via catheter sampling using sterile equipment and alcohol-impregnated swabs.\"}]","Urinalysis Clinical Skills Guidance - Learning Objectives - Infection Control & Specimen Collection | PDF",1789928546,53]
