    A nurse is performing discharge teaching with a client who was admitted for pyelonephritis. Which of the following instructions related to the prevention of pyelonephritis should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select All that Apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bathing at least twice a day is not specifically recommended for preventing pyelonephritis and may not impact infection risk. B. Wiping from front to back helps prevent the spread of bacteria from the anus to the urethra, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections that could ascend to the kidneys. C. Completing all antibiotics as prescribed ensures complete eradication of the infection and helps prevent recurrence. D. Using douches can disrupt normal vaginal flora and increase the risk of infections; it is not recommended. E. Adequate fluid intake promotes regular urination, which helps flush out bacteria and reduces the risk of kidney infections.
