Informed consent is what is needed before they can test for recreational drug use. That means the doctor or nurse or lab tech must tell you they are collecting the specimen to test for drugs. Unless you are a minor, the consent is then obtained from your legal guardian or parent. During a physical exam the urine sample is usually used to check for glucose, or ketones (diabetes), Leukocytes, blood, (possible infection), the test is generally very limited.
