| 2. Urine from patients with diabetes mellitus has | a. Decreased volume and decreased SG b. Decreased volume and increased SG c. Increased volume and decreased SG d. Increased volume and increased SG |
| 3. Red blood cells will last longer (remain intact) in urine that is | a. Concentrated and acidic b. Concentrated and alkaline c. Dilute and acidic d. Dilute and alkaline |
| 4. Substances removed from the blood by tubular secretions include all of the following except | a. Hydrogen ions b. Ammonia c. Protein-bound substances d. Glucose |

| 6. Osmometers utilizing the freezing point colligative property of solutions are based on the principle that | a. 1 osmole of nonionizing substance dissolved in 1 kilogram of water raises the freezing pint 1.86 degrees C b. 1 osmole of nonionizing substance dissolved in 1 kilogram of water lowers the freezing point 1.86 degree C c. Increased solute concentration will raise the freezing point of water in direct proportion to an NaCl standard d. Decreased solute concentration will decrease the freezing point in direct proportion to an NaCl standard |
| 7. Specimens that contain hemoglobin can be visually distinguished form those that contain intact red blood cells because | a. Hemoglobin produces a clear, pink or red specimen b. Hemoglobin produces a much brighter red color c. Red blood cells are quickly converted to hemoglobin |
| 8. Freshly voided normal urine is usually clearhowever if it is acidic, a turbidity after refrigeration may be present due to: | a. Amorphous phosphates b. WBC c. Urochrome d. Amorphous urates |
| 9. The principle of light reflectance is used to determine | a. Specimen color and clarity b. SG c. Reagent strip chemical reactions d. Automated microscopic analysis |
| 10. Reagent strip chemical tests may be inaccurate if the specimen is | a. Mixed prior to testing b. Tested immediately after refrigeration c. Tested immediately after it is voided d. Collected by catheter |
| 11. A patient has a 1+ protein reaction on a specimen collected in the doctor's office. The doctor instructs the patient to collect a specimen immediately upon arising the next day. The second specimen is negative for protein. This indicates | a. Nocturnal proteinuria b. Orthostatic proteinuria c. Microalbuminuria d. Diurnial proteinuria |
| 12. Galactose will react with | a. Multisitix but no clinitest b. Multistix but not chemstrip c. Multistix and chemstrip d. Clintest but not multistix |
| 13. A urinalysis report shows Bilirubin positive Blood trace Urobilinogen 0 Nitrite negative This suggest: | a. Abnormal destruction of RBCs in body b. Inflammation of the liver c. Severe upper urinary tract infection d. Bile duct obstruction |
| 14. The reagent strip test for nitrite is based on the | a. Utilization of nitrite by bacteria present in the urine b. Reaction of nitrite with the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria c. Reduction of nitrate in urine to nitrite by bacteria d. Reaction of bacterial nitrite with an aromatic amine to produce pH change |
| 15. If urine contains bacteria which of the following will be affected if the specimen is allowed to stand at least 2 hours before examining , | a. SG b. pH c. bilirubin d. occult blood |
| 16. it is important to keep the lid tightly capped on the dipstix bottle because | a. the reagents will dry out b. the reagent will give false negative results c. the reagent colors will fade d. the reagents will give false positive results |
| 17. the most common indicator of renal disease is | a. decreased pH b. decreased volume c. bacteriuria d. proteinuria |
| 18. A positive chemical test for blood with no red blood cells found in the sediments | a. Should have both tests repeated if the specimen is clear and red b. Indicates the presence of hemoglobin or myoglobin c. Indicates possible acute glomerulonephritis d. Is not possible |
| 19. A urine specimen is tested by reagent strip and sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) to determine whether protein is present. The strip yields a negative protein whereas the SSA results in a reading of 2+ protein. This difference is best explained by which of the following statements?, | a. The urine contained an excessive amount of amorphous urates or phosphates that caused the turbidity seen with the SSA test b. The urine pH was greater than 8, exceeding the buffering capacity of the reagent strip thus causing a false negative reaction c. A protein other than albumin must be present in the urine d. The reading time of the reagent strip was exceeded, causing a false negative reaction to be detected. |
| 20. The specimen of choice for bacterial cultures is | a. First morning b. 24 hour c. Random d. Clean catch midstream |

| 22. The blood level at which glucose will appear in the urine is called the | a. Tolerance level b. Filtration rate c. Renal threshold d. Secretion constant |
| 23. The reagent nitroprusside reaction is most likely positive in | a. Starvation b. Cystitis c. Renal failure d. Bile duct obstruction |
| 24. When bilirubin is found in the urine it can be assumed that | a. It is attached to protein b. It has passed through the small intestine c. The patient is diabetic d. It has been conjugated in the liver |
| 25. The method for preserving a urine specimen for routine urinalysis with the least interference is | a. Formalin b. Refrigeration c. Boric acid d. Sodium fluoride |
| 26. The ability of a test strip to react to the substance being tested and to no other is referred to as test | a. Standardization b. Specificity c. Sensibility d. Sensitivity |
