Diagnostic specimens are collected and sent to the lab for analysis. Which of the following sexually transmitted infections does the nurse understand must be reported to the Department of Public Health? A. Genital herpes B. Human papillomavirus infection C. Gonorrhea D. Trichomoniasis

The nurse is caring for a 4-year-old girl with a history of frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). What should the nurse be aware of before obtaining a urine sample? Select all that apply. a. To obtain a clean-catch urine specimen, have the child sit on the toilet facing backward toward the tank. b. Because children who have a UTI will have painful urination, have the child drink a large amount of fluid before obtaining the sample. c. The specimen must be fresh-less than 1 hour after voiding with storage at room temperature or less than 4 hours after voiding with refrigeration. d. If a urinalysis obtained by a bag specimen is negative, a specimen still needs to be obtained by catheterization or suprapubic aspiration. e. The key to distinguishing a true UTI from asymptomatic bacteriuria is the presence of pyuria. f. Because the child is febrile, the nurse should immediately start an antimicrobial and then obtain a urine culture.
