A pct in a clinic receives a urine sample form a pt
who completed a 24 hr urine collection. The tech
should ensure that the following condition has been
met?
The specimen was allowed to stand for 8 hr
following the final collection. The patient should
bring the specimen to the clinic as soon as possible
after completion of the 24-hr collection.
The final voiding of the 24-hr period was
discarded. The patient should ensure that every void
during the 24-period is included in the specimen.
The patient cleaned the meatus prior to each
void. The patient should perform this step when
collecting a clean-catch urine specimen. However, it
,is not necessary to complete this step for a 24-hr
urine collection.
The specimen was refrigerated prior to being
returned. The patient should keep the specimen
cool for the entire collection period to preserve the
integrity of the specimen.
2. A pct is teaching a pt about HIPAA regulations,
which of the following client statements indicate an
understanding of the teaching?
-I do not need to give my provider permission to
share my health info with my family
members: HIPAA regulations require the patient to
sign a consent form in order for the provider to give
a third party access to the patient's protected health
information. This also applies to family members.
-My provider is required to report if I receive a
diagnosis of tuberculosis: HIPAA regulations
require providers to report instances of
communicable diseases, including tuberculosis, to
prevent an outbreak in the community.
,-If I require an interpreter, my provider cannot share
my health info with them: HIPAA regulations require
that a patient's protected health information is kept
confidential. However, sharing a patient's
information with a medical interpreter is necessary to
provide effective care and is therefore allowed by
HIPAA regulations.
-If I am injured at work my employer has a right to
see my health information: HIPAA regulations
require the patient to sign a consent form in order for
the provider to give a third party access to the
patient's protected health information. This applies to
the patient's employer, even if the patient sustained
an injury at work.
