To collect a clean-voided specimen, the nurse should collect the specimen (30 to 60 mL) after the initial stream of urine has passed. Nonsterile gloves are adequate. Fluids are encouraged so the client will be more likely to be able to void. The specimen should be collected in a sterile con-tainer and then placed into a plastic specimen bag.
