Midstream clean catch is the recommended urine collection method for a standard urinalysis to reduce the contamination of the sample.
True
False
Midstream clean catch is the recommended urine collection method for a standard urinalysis to reduce the contamination of the sample.
True
False
The correct answer is that this statement is true. The midstream clean catch method is widely used to collect a urine sample for urinalysis because it helps minimize contamination from the urethral opening and surrounding areas which could otherwise introduce bacteria or cells into the specimen leading to false interpretations of the results. The initial flow of urine is allowed to pass and the 'midstream' urine is caught in the collection cup, which is considered to reflect more accurately the contents of the bladder for diagnostic purposes.
