Can UAP collect a Foley urine specimen in NCLEX World?

[lasarazen]

I just finished the ATI Live Review, and we were told specifically that UAPs CANNOT collect urine samples from a Foley (rationale: it's a sterile, closed system that UAPs are not qualified to open). Then last night, I see a similar question in Lacharity's Delegation/Prioritization, and LO and behold, the answer indicates that a UAP CAN collect urine from a Foley. NOW here's where I may be interpreting this all wrong: I am under the impression that the ONLY way you're supposed to collect ANY urine from a Foley is via aspiration from the collection port (not collecting urine from the collection bag). This would not be the first time ATI confused me by stating something that other sources say the opposite of...just want to get clarity before I sit for the NCLEX in a few weeks.

Yeah they can collect urine specimens from foley. They even empty them and do intake and output so why not?

Emptying the bag is not the same as aspirating and collecting a sterile specimen.

I think that it is likely a licensed nursing function.
