Suppose a urine sample revealed abnormal results, such as protein in the urine. if there is a result differing from the norm (e.g., color, ph, substances present), should the physician always make an immediate diagnosis of a disorder? why or why not?

Answer:

The doctor should not diagnose a disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just one urine test is not enough to determine if the patient is disturbed or not. It would be wrong if the doctor made a diagnosis just because of this test. Ideally, the doctor should order other physical tests and from their results, assess the patient's history and come to a conclusion on whether the patient has a health problem or not.

I think the physician should never make an immediate diagnosis of a disorder. The physician should only come up with possible diagnostics and then do further tests like blood tests to confirm and later come up with a conclusion. Another reason as to why they should not make immediate diagnosis of a disorderĀ is because the sample being used might have been contaminated.
