Clinical Simulation
Urine Midstream Collection
About This Course
What you'll experience
Thirty-year-old Mei-Xia Chen is scheduled for a surgery, and 70-year-old Carlos Martinez has a suspected urinary tract infection. Both cases require a urinalysis, which their physicians have ordered. Chen and Martinez are at the doctor’s examination room for their tests. As the healthcare provider, it is your responsibility to ensure that each urinalysis is performed accurately, efficiently, and under strict hygienic conditions to maintain sample integrity and safeguard patient health. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.
Learning Objectives
- Preparing the workspace and materials required for urinalysis
- Identifying the correct patient and verifying the physician’s test order
- Instructing the patient on proper urine sample collection technique
- Collecting and labelling the urine specimen following hygiene and safety protocols

What you'll practice
Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Urine Midstream Collection - Female
In this simulation, the learner begins by confirming the patient’s identity, introducing themselves, and explaining the midstream urine collection procedure to the female patient. After ensuring privacy and practicing hand hygiene, the learner educates the patient on maintaining hygiene and sterility during the process.
The learner guides the patient on using antiseptic towelettes to cleanse the labial area and on correctly collecting the midstream portion of urine. The procedure concludes with sealing and cleaning the specimen container and performing final hand hygiene.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure efficiently and safely.
