Q: The excess urine can be refrigerated for future use, and can be examined later at 2 to 8 degrees? (select one)
A) True
B) False
Answer: B
It is true that excess urine can be refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius but urine should always be examined at room temperature. Refrigerated urine should be re-warmed to room temperature before the examination. Ideally, a urine sample should be examined at room temperature within two hours of obtainment.
