A

Squamous Epithelial cells para largo nonpathologenic
or other things like crystals, parasites etc.

17
Q

COLOR & CLARITY PROCEDURE

A
  1. Use a well-mixed urine specimen.
  2. View through a clear and clean container.
  3. View against a white background.
  4. Maintain adequate room lighting.
  5. Evaluate a consistent volume of specimen
  6. Determine color and clarity
18
Q

Basa basahi lang ni ah, Urine Clarity

A

Clear - No visible particulates, transparent
Hazy- Few particulates, print easily seen through urine
Cloudy - Many particulates, ‘print blurred through urine
Turbid - Print cannot be seen through urine
Milky - May precipitate or be clotted

19
Q

Density of solution compared with density of similar volume of distilled water at a similar temperature

  • Influenced by number and size of particles in a solution
A

(Not a urine, except DI)

23
Q

When SG is greater than >1.040 it is called?
>1.040
SG: >1.010

A

29
Q

True or False
Urine Odor is a part of the evaluation of a urine’s physical examination

A

False, we should not report it but as learners, we have to know why there is odor…

30
