Rationale: Creatinine clearance is a 24-hour urine test that requires a bottle with special preservatives, so the collection container must be requested from the laboratory. Once the bottle is obtained, the nurse will explain the procedure to the client and place signs warning that all urine must be collected for 24 hours to avoid loss of a voided specimen.
