Quality control on reagent strips must be performed whenever a/an: new bottle of strips is opened
The reagent strip reaction that should be read last is the: leukocyte esterase
Failure to blot the edge of the reagent strip may result in errors in color interpretation caused by: runover
The principle of the reagent strip test for pH is: a double indicator reaction
The normal range of urine pH is 4.5 to 8.0
Which of the following is a cause of prerenal proteinuria? Multiple myeloma
The protein section of the reagent strip is most sensitive to: albumin
To detect the presence of early renal disease, diabetic patients are tested for: microalbuminuria
The principle of the reagent strip test for protein is the: protein error of indicators
The SSA test should be performed on: urine that has been centrifuged
The test on the Multistix Pro reagent strip that uses a dye-binding principle is: creatinine
A first morning specimen is frequently requested to confirm: a negative urine pregnancy test
Pediatric urine specimens are additionally tested for the presence of: galactose using Clinitest
Reagent strip tests for glucose use: double sequential enzyme reactions
A 1+ reagent strip reaction and a 4+ Clinitest reaction could indicate the presence of: glucose and other reducing substances
The primary purpose of the Acetest tablets is to: test serum for increased ketones
A spotted reaction on the reagent strip reaction for blood indicates: hematuria
Which of the following is not true about the Ictotest? It is less sensitive than the reagent strip test.
A positive nitrite test suggests the presence of a minimum of: 105 organisms/mL
The reagent strip test for nitrite is based on the: reduction of nitrate in urine to nitrite by bacteria
Which of the following can produce a negative nitrite test in the presence of significant bacteriuria Production of nitrogen from the presence of many bacteria
The cells most frequently associated with urinary tract infection are: neutrophils
The number of fields that should be examined when quantitating urinary sediment constituents is: 10
Identification of oval fat bodies can be verified using: polarized light
To detect the presence of casts, the sediment is examined using reduced light under low power
The presence of crenated RBCs in the urine sediment is associated with: hypersthenuria
A patient with severe back pain and 15 to 20 RBCs/hpf in the urine sediment may have: renal calculi
Differentiation among RBCs, yeast, and oil droplets may be accomplished by all of the following except: lysis of yeast cells by acetic acid
Ghost RBCs most frequently occur with high pH, low specific gravity

Glitter cell is a term used to describe a specific type of: neutrophil
An increase in urinary WBCs is called: pyuria
Oval fat bodies are: renal tubular epithelial cells that contain lipids
The type of cells that line the bladder and ureters are: transitional

Clue cells are derived from: squamous epithelial cells
The organisms attached to a clue cell are: Gardnerella vaginalis
Collection of a midstream clean-catch specimen will alleviate contamination by: squamous epithelial cells
Spherical transitional epithelial cells can be differentiated from renal tubular epithelial cells by observing the: centrally located nucleus in transitional cells
The primary factor that favors the formation of casts is: urinary stasis
The major constituent of casts is: Tamm-Horsfall protein
Waxy casts are most easily differentiated from hyaline casts by their: refractivity
Hyaline casts are found in the urine sediment: following strenuous exercise
Identification of crystals is based on shape and: urine pH and crystal solubility
