Which step is NOT included in the procedure to collect a female urine sample?

  1. Clean the perineal area with a towel

  2. Keep the labia separated to collect the urine

  3. Rub the labia with alcohol wipes

  4. Spread the labia with your thumb and index finger

The correct answer is: Clean the perineal area with a towel

Option A is not included in the procedure because it is not necessary to clean the perineal area with a towel. This may contaminate the sample and affect the results. The remaining options B, C, and D are all necessary steps in the procedure and should be followed accordingly.
