1. After receiving a 24-hour urine for quantitative total protein analysis, the technician must first: a: subculture the urine for bacteria b: add the appropriate preservative c: screen for albumin with a dipstick d: measure the total volume - ANSWERSd: measure the total volume; Measure the total volume of the sample before removing an aliquot. To calculate the total protein, measure the protein of an aliquot to learn the mg/dL. Then multiply that answer by the number of dL in the 24-hour co...
