Question: This Is A Discussion Board Question For Interpretation Of Laboratory Results Class!!! The Questions Are In The Picture Attached, Thanks!!

Discussion Board Question 4 Cyndy Collier, CMA (AAMA), is working in the office laboratory for a busy internal medicine clinic. She is about to perform a urinalysis on a specimen that was collected from a patient who is in to see the physician because of blood in her urine. Cindy verifies the identification of the specimen and places it on the counter in the laboratory area. Before she has a chance to do anything else, she is called away to perform a venipuncture and PT/INR on another patient. Approximately 1 hour later, Cindy hurries into the laboratory so that she can start to analyze the urine specimen. She picks up the cup, and documents that the specimen is clear and appears yellow. She also notes that there is a red “ring” around the bottom interior of the cup. Questions: 1. What did Cindy forget to do before assessing the color and clarity of the specimen? 2. Is her assessment of the specimen’s being yellow and clear the correct result for this specimen?
