A client diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) asks the nurse about how to prevent another infection. Which statement by the client indicates effective teaching by the nurse?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: I should drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Adequate hydration helps flush out bacteria from the urinary tract, reducing the risk of UTIs. This statement shows understanding of a preventive measure. Choice A is incorrect because stopping antibiotics prematurely can lead to antibiotic resistance. Choice C is incorrect as wiping from front to back prevents the spread of bacteria. Choice D is incorrect as tight-fitting clothes can create a warm, moist environment ideal for bacteria growth.
