To obtain a clean-voided urine specimen for a female patient, the nurse should teach the patient to a) Cleanse the urethral meatus from the area of most contamination to least. c) Hold the labia apart while voiding into the specimen cup. The patient should hold the labia apart to reduce bacterial levels in the specimen. The urethral meatus should be cleansed from the area of least contamination to greatest contamination (or front-to-back).
