What should you do if any urine is missed during a 24-hour urine specimen collection?

Continue with the specimen collection
Notify a physician
Restart the test
Save the next voiding

The correct answer is: Continue with the specimen collection

If any urine is missed during a 24-hour urine specimen collection, the best course of action is to continue with the specimen collection. This is because the purpose of a 24-hour urine collection is to accurately measure the levels of certain substances in the urine over a 24-hour period. If any urine is missed, it may affect the accuracy of the results. Restarting the test or saving the next voiding would not accurately reflect the levels in the urine over the 24-hour period. Additionally, notifying a physician may not be necessary unless there are specific concerns or instructions given by the physician. Therefore, continuing with the specimen collection is the most appropriate and effective choice in this scenario.
