Brief Answer:
possibly Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It only takes traces of Hydrocodone (Vicodin) to be shown up in Blood and urine. In the urine the metabolites will be present from 2 to 4 days.
Hence by this logic the urine would be able to detect Hydrocodone in the urine by 5PM on the same day which is just 10 hours past oral intake.

Hope this answers.
