The nurse has delegated the collection of a clean catch urine specimen to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which statement by the UAT indicates an appropriate understanding of the procedure?
1. "I will have the client urinate in the specimen container the next time he or she urinates."
2. "I will provide the client with sterile gloves for collecting the urine specimen."
3. "I will ask the client to cleanse the urethra to avoid contamination of the urine specimen."
4. "I will watch the client obtain the urine specimen to ensure correct obtainment."
Correct Answer: 3
The client must be asked to cleanse the urethra to avoid contamination of the urine specimen. Sterile gloves are not needed for this collection. The UAT should help the client, if needed, to avoid contamination.
