Question

A woman is in for a routine prenatal checkup. The nurse is assessing her urine for glycosuria and proteinuria. Which findings are considered normal? (Select all that apply.)

a. Dipstick assessment of trace to +1
b. <300 mg/24 hours
c. Dipstick assessment of +2 glucose
d. >300 mg/24 hours
e. Albumin < 30 mg/24 hours

Answer 1

A routine prenatal checkup assesses urine for glycosuria and proteinuria. Normal findings include dipstick assessment of trace to +1, <300 mg/24 hours, and albumin < 30 mg/24 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the options provided, the normal findings for urine assessment during a routine prenatal checkup are:

1. Dipstick assessment of trace to +1
2. <300 mg/24 hours
3. Albumin < 30 mg/24 hours

These results indicate that there is no significant presence of glycosuria (glucose in urine) or proteinuria (abnormal amounts of protein in urine). It is important for pregnant women to have these normal findings, as glycosuria and proteinuria can be indicators of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia, respectively.
