If the patient is able to help himself,the imaging professional simply hands him an aseptic urinal and allows him to use it,providing privacy whenever possible.When he has finished,the radiologic technologist should put on clean disposable gloves,remove the urinal,empty it,and rinse it with cold water.If the patient's urinary output needs to be documented,note the level of urine indicated by the measurement scale on the side of the urinal and record it in the patient's chart.The urinal is then placed with the soiled supplies to be resterilized.
