    A nurse is creating a plan of care for a female client who has recurrent urinary tract infections. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Increasing fluid intake is recommended, but four 8-oz glasses (960 mL) is too low. Clients should drink at least 2-3 liters per day. B. Voiding every 5-6 hours is too infrequent; clients should void at least every 2-4 hours to help flush bacteria. C. Taking a bubble bath after intercourse can introduce bacteria into the urethra, increasing UTI risk. D. Wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear helps keep the area dry and reduces bacterial growth, lowering UTI risk.
