Explanation:

Normal urinalysis values for older adults include:

• pH: 4.5-8.0, so pH 6 is within range.
• Nitrite: normally negative, so "Nitrite small" is abnormal.
• Protein: normally negative/trace, so "Protein small" may be abnormal (persistent small protein is not normal).
• Sugar (glucose): normally negative, so "Sugar negative" is normal.
• Bilirubin: normally negative, so "Bilirubin positive" is abnormal.
• Specific gravity: 1.005-1.030, so 1.015 is within range.

Answer:

• pH 6
• Sugar negative
• Specific gravity 1.015
