i have another question.

During the 24 hour urine collection, if the patient accidentally spills some amount of urine from the urine collection container.

will the 24 hour urine collection still be continued ?

[JustBeachyNurse, LPN]

Depends on the study, technically it needs to be restarted but there are exceptions depending on the diagnosis/test/facility protocol & sensitivity of the test.

Not only is it elderly abuse it's illegal and is called theft and the person who does this should go to jail.

If the 24 hr urine spills...the collection needs to start over.
