CHECK ALL THAT APPLY. GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIAL UTI (CAUSE BY ORGANISMS LIKE EXAMPLE Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) WILL CAUSE A POSITIVE TEST RESULT IN ____________
- A.
NITRATE
- B.
NITRITE
- C.
LEUKOCYTE ESTERASE
Correct Answer(s)
B. NITRITE
C. LEUKOCYTE ESTERASEExplanation
In a Gram-negative bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), the bacteria involved (such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) produce an enzyme called nitrate reductase. This enzyme converts nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-). Therefore, the presence of nitrite in a urine test indicates the presence of these bacteria. Additionally, a Gram-negative bacterial UTI also causes inflammation and immune response, leading to the presence of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the urine. Therefore, the presence of leukocyte esterase, an enzyme produced by white blood cells, is also indicative of a Gram-negative bacterial UTI.Rate this question:

THE FOLLOWING TEST ON THE REAGENT STRIP CAN ESTIMATE WHETHER A PATIENTS BLOOD GLUCOSE EXCEEDS THE RENAL THRESHOLD (OF 160-180mg/dL)
- A.
GLUCOSE
- B.
BILIRUBIN
- C.
UROBILINOGEN
- D.
PH
Correct Answer
A. GLUCOSEExplanation
The reagent strip test mentioned in the question is used to estimate whether a patient's blood glucose exceeds the renal threshold. The presence of glucose on the reagent strip indicates that the patient's blood glucose level is high enough to exceed the renal threshold. This can be an indication of diabetes or other conditions affecting glucose metabolism. The other substances listed (bilirubin, urobilinogen, and pH) are not directly related to estimating blood glucose levels.Rate this question:
