The rapid change from blue to orange and back to blue could indicate a "pass through" reaction, where the reaction occurs too quickly and the final color is not accurate. By repeating the test with fewer drops of urine, the reaction time will be longer and the final color will be more accurate. Reporting the test as negative is not appropriate if there is a possibility of a false negative result. Adding more drops of urine will not necessarily solve the problem of "pass through," and could potentially dilute the reagent, leading to inaccurate results. The brief orange color is not likely from detergent, as this would not cause a sudden change in color.
