Certified Clinical Medical Assistant Exam Practice Question
Which of the following conditions is a cause for specimen rejection for a routine urinalysis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A urine specimen volume of 6 mL is insufficient for comprehensive testing, as most laboratories require a minimum of 10-15 mL to perform all necessary analyses accurately.
Option B, with a temperature of 23°C (73.4°F), is acceptable since this range is typical for room temperature and does not affect the analysis.
Option C, while missing a preservative can affect specific tests, does not automatically lead to specimen rejection if other tests can still be performed.
Option D describes a specimen that may indicate a potential issue but does not inherently warrant rejection without further context.
