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?

A. Decrease intake of citrus foods and beverages: Citrus foods and beverages do not increase the risk of UTIs and may actually support general health through vitamin C. Restricting them is unnecessary and not part of standard UTI prevention education. B. Wear nylon underwear: Nylon underwear is less breathable than cotton and can increase moisture, promoting bacterial growth. Clients should be advised to wear cotton underwear to reduce UTI risk. C. Empty the bladder before and after intercourse: Urinating before and after sexual activity helps flush bacteria from the urethra, reducing the risk of infection. This is an effective and recommended preventive measure for clients with a history of UTIs. D. Increase the time between voiding: Holding urine for extended periods allows bacteria to multiply in the urinary tract and increases the risk of infection. Clients should be advised to void regularly to prevent UTIs.
