You are working in a PCP office that routinely performs work-related drug screenings.Describe several methods that may be used to ensure that the urine sample has not been adulterated.

Accepted Answer

A random specimen is usually collected.Safeguards to ensure that a specimen is fresh and truly from the patient include: water may be temporarily unavailable in the restroom,bluing agents may be added to the toilets,a container with a temperature-sensitive strip may be provided,and someone may accompany the patient into the restroom.In some cases a strict chain of custody is required.Urine collection cups with built-in thermometer panels are often used to ensure that urine has been freshly voided from the bladder.The expected temperature is 90° to 100° F (32.2° to 37.7° C)within 4 minutes of collection.Test strips that detect human immunoglobulins (antibodies)in urine can determine whether the specimen is human in origin and whether it is naturally dilute or has been diluted.
