The other values are within normal limits. Food high in purine include scallops and bacon. Alcohol is also high in purine. Avocados, milk, and white bread are low-purine foods. A urine specimen obtained from a non-catheterized client should be collected using a specimen cup and by using the proper cleansing technique. The nurse should not instruct the client to reduce fluid intake. The nurse does not need to catheterize the client to obtain the specimen. The nurse should not be using urine from a urinal for this specimen. |
