It is a method of collecting a urine sample for various tests, including urinalysis, cytology, and urine culture. Explain to the patient that this kind of urine collection involves first voiding approximately one half of the urine into the toilet, urinal, or bedpan, then collecting a portion of midstream urine in a sterile container, and allowing the rest to be pass into the toilet. The following could affect the hospital’s reimbursement under recent healthcare reform laws and regulations: TRIG : Patient Preparation: 1. The following is a brief description of each specimen type and instructions to process them properly. The sample is then taken to the laboratory for culture. Specimen Collection, Handling and Transport Page 6 of 6 All specimens transported via courier must be transported in sealed biohazard, leak-proof, puncture resistant container tightly closed before transportation. Record the ending date and time on the collection container and on the laboratory requisition. Instruct the patient to void a small amount of urine into the toilet to rinse out the urethra, void the midstream urine into the specimen cup, and the last of the stream into the toilet. His drive for educating people stemmed from working as a community health nurse. ... and compliance with applicable laws regarding specimen collection, confidentiality, chain of custody, and incident reporting. Quality & Professional Issues Test . If you don’t get an adequate sample on the first try, have him continue to cough until you’re able to collect a minimum of 15 ml. Expanded cost-per-Medicare beneficiary due to repeated specimen collections and unnecessary treatment. How to prevent common errors: Collect sufficient quantity. It is done to isolate and identify any pathogens, which may be medium. Collect ample amount of sample by using appropriate collection devices such as sterile, leak-proof specimen containers. With the use of a tongue blade, transfer a portion of the feces to the specimen container. Specimen Collection • Suspect or confirmed TB patients should be in a negative pressure room • Specimen collection is an aerosol generating procedure, anyone in the room during specimen collection must wear a particulate respirator type N-95 and be part of the respirator protection plan • All mycobacteria specimens are collected It is one way of knowing about the patient’s health status by identifying pathogens and analyzing urine, blood, sputum, and feces. Generally, the patient will be given one or more containers to collect and store urine over a 24-hour time period. If the specimen is not received within two hours of collection, specimen reception personnel must confirm that a tube containing an appropriate preservative has been used. This specimen shows the total amounts of wastes the kidneys are eliminating and the amount of each. Uncap the container but avoid touching the inside to ensure that it’s sterile. B. sufficient for a rapid test only. According to the FDA, 10 to 20 percent of pregnant women may not detect their pregnancy by testing on what they believe to be the first day of their first missed period. A sample of urine collected at any time of the day. However, it can be difficult to keep urine away from the stool sample. Proper collection of specimens is the most important step in the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases. Specimen processing instructions: Centrifuge the citrated blue-top tubes as soon as possible (within 60 minutes) at designated time and speed to obtain platelet-poor plasma ( 10,000/µL). The role of nurses in collecting, labeling, and ensuring the timely and proper delivery of specimens to the laboratory plays a very important thing in the hospital setting. Supplies and equipment required to collect a stool specimen are: Clean bedpan and cover (an extra bedpan or urinal if the patient must void), Plastic bag for transport of container with specimen to laboratory. Test results are a direct reflection of specimen integrity. Collect all urine voided during the next 24 hours. For many urine chemistry procedures the specimen of choice is 24-hour urine. Improperly labeled specimens will be rejected. These infections can include strep throat, pneumonia, tonsillitis, whooping cough, and meningitis. With regard to an infant patient, place the diaper in a leakproof bag, label it, and take the diaper and request form to the lab as soon as possible. Label both bottles with the patient’s identifying information and the type of culture that is, aerobic or anaerobic. A stool culture is the process of growing or culturing organisms existing in feces to see if any of them cause disease. Check expiration date before inoculating collection device. A blood culture is being done to determine which specific organism or bacteria is causing the problem and how best to combat it. A specimen will be rejected by the laboratory if it contains excessive numbers of epithelial cells from the mouth or throat or if it fails to show adequate numbers of neutrophils on gram staining. Tell him to flush the remaining stool down the toilet. However, nurses should not only possess the right knowledge, but as well as the skill and understanding in performing necessary procedures in accordance with the organization’s protocols, policies, and guidelines. Parainfluenza virus, Respiratory FilmArray) 1. Allow patient to wait one to two weeks after her first missed period to get the most accurate results. Specimen Preservation. Use one test requisition. Midstream “clean-catch” urine collection is the most common method of obtaining urine specimens from adults, particularly men. Example: Begin collecting the 24-hour urine specimen by voiding at 7:00 am and discarding the urine. 50 Flemington Road Parkville Victoria 3052 Australia, Site Map | Copyright | Terms and Conditions, A great children's hospital, leading the way, RCH Paediatric Blood Collection Volume Guide, 11p Methylation Studies (see >> Russell Silver Syndrome (11p15)), 16S PCR (see >> 16S rRNA Gene Nucleic Acid Detection), 17 Ketosteroids (see >> Urine Steroid Profile), 18s Panfungal Nucleic Acid Detection (see >> 18S rRNA Gene Nucleic Acid Detection), 18S PCR (see >> 18S rRNA Gene Nucleic Acid Detection), 2,3 Diphosphoglyceric Acid Mutase ( or 2,3DPGM), 25-OH Vitamin D (see >> Vitamin D (25 Hydroxy)), 5HIAA (see >> Urine Biogenic Amines (24hr)), 6-TGN ( 6- thioguaninenucleotides) (see >> Thiopurine (TPMT) Metabolites), ACE (see >> Angiotensin Converting Enzyme), Acid Base (without Lactate and Electrolytes) -

The specimen vial must have the patient name or unique identifier that matches the test request form. And prepare himself when he feels the urge to have a bowel movement. Completed requisition is to be placed in the outside pocket. Instruct the patient to urinate, flush down the urine down the toilet when he gets up in the morning. Guaiac Fecal Occult Blood Test (gFOBT), 4.2. Tell the patient that he needs to collect a sample from his bowel by placing a sheet of plastic wrap or paper loosely across the toilet bowl to catch the stool or he can use a dry container to collect the stool. The certification test contains 145 questions that must be answered in 150 minutes with a passing score of 70%. Label the specimen properly and fill out test request form completely. An example of an optimum specimen/test match would be a first morning specimen for urinalysis and microscopic examination. Remove the syringe and needle while applying pressure to the venipuncture site with the cotton ball or gauze pad. Inject 5 cc of blood into the anaerobic bottle, not allowing air to enter the bottle. Submit all specimens within a series together in one specimen bag. Bring together all supplies and equipment needed to patient’s bedside. ), IgM (see >> Immunoglobulins (includes IgG,IgA & IgM)), IGRA (see >> Quantiferon Gold -QF Gold in tube), IL 2 Receptor - soluble (or sCD25) (see >> Soluble CD25 (Soluble IL-2 Receptor)), IL28B (see >> Hepatitis C Treatment IL28B Mutation), Immunoglobulin A (see >> Immunoglobulins (includes IgG,IgA & IgM)), Immunoglobulin G Subclasses (see >> IgG Subclasses - Requires Immunopathologist Approval.
