The nurse receives an order from the physician to collect a urine specimen from a 7-month-old infant to test for specific gravity and glucose, and to send for culture. The nurse collects the specimen by:
1. Inserting a straight catheter.
2. Squeezing urine from the wet diaper.
3. Placing cotton balls over the urethra and squeezing urine from them after the baby urinates.
4. Cleaning the area around the urethra and placing a pediatric urine-collector bag.
