A patient brings a urine sample to the office in an old pill bottle should you accept the urine sample?

It's generally not advisable to accept a urine sample in an old pill bottle, as it may not be sterile and could compromise the integrity of the sample. Urine samples should be collected in clean, appropriate containers designed for that purpose to ensure accurate testing and minimize contamination. Additionally, using a pill bottle may raise concerns about the sample's authenticity. It's best to provide the patient with a proper container for collection.
