The nursing assistant (NA) follows the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) guidelines to maintain a clean unit that minimizes the spread of germs that may cause illnesses. Therefore, the best location for the NA to place the specimens is in the designated place on the unit, the soiled utility room. The medication room, clean utility room, and nursing station should not contain items that may be contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms.
