Fill in Tables 9 through 12. Refer to Table 3 to determine if each result was normal or abnormal.
If abnormal, include the data which indicates this (e.g., a pH of 3.2 means that glucose is
present). Using the test results from each of the urine samples, diagnose the condition(s), if
any, that each of the sample patients is experiencing. ”
