How much urine should be poured into the specimen container for a random urine specimen?

  1. 50 mL

  2. 100 mL

  3. 120 mL

  4. 150 mL

The correct answer is: 50 mL

For a random urine specimen, it is standard practice to pour approximately 30 to 60 milliliters (mL) of urine into the specimen container. This amount is enough for testing purposes and ensures that there is sufficient urine for the required tests without providing an excessive or unnecessary amount. Therefore, option A (50 mL) is the correct choice in this scenario. The other options (B, C, and D) exceed the recommended amount of urine needed for a random urine specimen.
