A nurse is providing teaching to a client about measures to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?

Choice A reason: Drinking 8 cups of liquid daily is an appropriate preventive measure. Adequate hydration dilutes urine and helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract, reducing the risk of infection. This statement reflects correct teaching. Choice B reason: Wiping from back to front after urination increases the risk of introducing bacteria from the rectal area into the urethra, which can cause UTIs. The correct method is wiping from front to back. This statement indicates a need for further teaching and is the correct answer. Choice C reason: Drinking apple cider vinegar is sometimes used as a home remedy because it may acidify urine and inhibit bacterial growth. While not a standard medical recommendation, it does not directly increase UTI risk. This statement does not indicate a need for correction in the context of prevention education. Choice D reason: Emptying the bladder regularly and completely is an important preventive measure. Retained urine can serve as a medium for bacterial growth, increasing the risk of infection. This statement reflects correct teaching.
