    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I can stop taking my prescribed antibiotics once I start feeling better.": This is incorrect. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics to fully eradicate the infection and prevent recurrence. B. "I should drink plenty of fluids, especially water.": Correct. Drinking plenty of fluids helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract and prevents future infections. C. "I don't need to worry about wiping from front to back after using the toilet.": Incorrect. Wiping from front to back reduces the risk of transferring bacteria from the anal area to the urethra. D. "I can wear tight-fitting underwear and pants without any concerns.": Incorrect. Tight-fitting underwear and clothing can increase moisture and heat, which may promote bacterial growth.
