Exercise 49

Two patients with urinalysis requisition slips come to the lab where you work. A sample is collected from each and the patients leave the office. When you go to do the urinalysis, you realize that the samples are unidentified, so you don’t know which sample belongs to which patient. What should you do? What are some changes that should be made in the urine collection procedure in the lab?
