Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Culture and sensitivity testing involves obtaining a sample (such as blood or urine) and growing it in a laboratory to identify any microorganisms that may be causing an infection. Sensitivity testing also determines which antibiotics would be most effective in treating the infection. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine clearance tests are used to evaluate kidney function, while a clean catch specimen is a method of obtaining a urine sample. None of these tests specifically identify an infection.
