All specimens should be labeled appropriately and processed in a timely fashion. Allow patients time and privacy to void. Urine cultures can take up to 48 to 72 hours to develop. Only gloves are necessary to handle a urine specimen. Gown and mask are not needed unless otherwise indicated. Never collect the specimen from the drainage bag of a catheter; obtain the sample from the special sampling port.
