The correct procedure for obtaining a clean-catch urine specimen involves wiping the genital area from front to back before starting to urinate and then collecting the urine midstream. Option A is partially correct but does not mention the wiping step. Option C is incorrect as it suggests obtaining the specimen through a urinary catheter, which is not necessary for a clean-catch specimen. Option D refers to a 24-hour urine collection sample, which is a different procedure.
