    To obtain a clean catch urine sample for a urine culture, which instruction should the practical nurse (PN) provide the client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Discard the first urine specimen and collect the second voiding: Clean catch is from a single void after midstream cleaning, not a separate voiding. B. Place the urine collection cup in the stream of urine while voiding: Midstream catch avoids contamination from urethral opening. C. Collect the urine specimen immediately upon awakening in the morning: Morning urine may be concentrated but is not required for culture. D. Void into the bedpan but place toilet tissue in the trash container: This contaminates the specimen; bedpans not used for clean catch.
