Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the urine volume is inadequate, the chemical testing may not be accurate as there may not be enough urine to cover the reagent pads on the dipstick. In addition, if the urine volume is very small, the urine microscopic examination may not be accurate as there may not be enough formed elements present in the sediment used for examination.
