A nurse is planning teaching for a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation and has a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include in the teaching about UTI prevention?

Choice A reason: Citrus foods and beverages are not contraindicated for UTI prevention. In fact, cranberry juice and other acidic foods may help reduce bacterial adherence to the urinary tract. This option is incorrect. Choice B reason: Nylon underwear traps moisture and heat, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Cotton underwear is recommended to promote ventilation and reduce infection risk. This option is incorrect. Choice C reason: Emptying the bladder before and after intercourse helps flush bacteria from the urethra, reducing the risk of UTIs. This is a well-established preventive measure and the correct answer. Choice D reason: Increasing the time between voiding allows bacteria to multiply in the bladder, increasing the risk of infection. Frequent voiding is recommended to reduce bacterial colonization. This option is incorrect.
