You have delegated the task of obtaining a "double voided" specimen to the NAP. The following statement indicates good understanding of the procedure by the NAP
a. "The patient voids first; then I catheterize the patient and test the second specimen.".
b. "The patient gives me two specimens and I test both.".
c. "The patient discards the first specimen, drinks water, then gives me a second spe-cimen.".
d. "The patient gives me two specimens, two hours apart for testing.".
C
A double voided specimen is when the first specimen is discarded and then the patient drinks a glass of water and then produces a second specimen for glucose testing. The other choices would indicate the NAP did not understand what a double voided specimen was and would indicate a need for further education. The skill of urine screening can be delegated to NAPs.
