Feedback: The nurse should assess for absence of glucose in the urine to confirm a normal urinalysis. A specific gravity of 1.030 to 1.050 is higher than the normal range of 1.010 to 1.025, and indicates a kidney problem. A pH level ranging from 12 to 16 indicates a high urine pH, which may be seen in abnormal conditions such as renal failure. Presence of RBCs in the urine indicates an abnormal urinalysis that may be seen during hemorrhage. |
