A patient arrives to submit a sample for a chain of custody urine test. Upon entering the restroom, the patient says her 10-year-old daughter must go into the restroom with her because the child is afraid to be left alone. How should you handle this situation?
You must tell the patient that the child is not allowed in the restroom with her. The child may stand outside the door and talk to the mother while you observe the child. It is common to have a child submit the urine sample for an adult to get a "drug-free" sample for the chain of custody sample. No one should be allowed in the restroom with the person collecting the sample.
