A client's urinalysis is reported as being normal. What were the client's results?
1. Blood present and no ketones
2. Dark amber color and output less than 500 cc in 24 hours
3. pH 6 and no glucose present
4. Specific gravity 1.035 and faint aromatic odor
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There should be no blood present as well as no ketones.
Rationale 2: The urine should be an amber color, not dark amber. For an adult, normal output range is 1,200-1,500 mL in 24 hours.
Rationale 3: Normal pH is 4.5-8, so a pH of 6 and no glucose present are two normal characteristics of urine.
Rationale 4: Specific gravity of 1.035 does not fall within the normal range of 1.010-1.025, but a faint aromatic odor is normal.
