A 24 hour urine collection from a woman who had no evidence of renal insufficiency was sent to the laboratory for testing. The volume was 350 mL, leading the technologist to believe the collection may not be a complete 24 hour collection. The next step would be to:
Perform the ordered tests, as 350 mL is within the expected range for 24 hour urine collection.
Check the BUN level, if it is less than 20 mg/dL, perform the testing as ordered.
Check the creatinine level, if it is greater than 1 mg/dL, perform the testing as ordered.
Perform the testing as ordered, but divide the results by 2 due to low volume
