When collecting an MSU from a male patient, what should they do prior to the specimen being collected?

  • Clean the meatus and catch a specimen from the last of the urine voided

  • Clean the meatus and catch a specimen from the first stream of urine (approx. 30mls)

  • Clean the meatus and catch a specimen of the urine midstream

  • Ask the patient to void into a bottle and pour urine specimen into the specimen container.
