A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) about prevention measures. Which of the following client statements indicates the need for further teaching?

A. "I will need to empty my bladder after having sexual intercourse.": Voiding after sexual activity helps flush bacteria from the urethra, preventing them from ascending into the bladder. This action reduces the risk of infection by clearing potential pathogens introduced during intercourse. B. "I need to drink at least 8 full glasses of liquid each day.": Adequate fluid intake increases urine output, which helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract. This reduces bacterial colonization and lowers the risk of developing recurrent UTIs. C. "I will need to wipe my perineal area from back to front after urination.": Wiping from back to front can transfer bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the likelihood of infection. The correct technique is front to back to minimize bacterial contamination and prevent UTIs. D. "I should avoid taking bubble baths.": Bubble baths can irritate the urethral mucosa and create an environment that encourages bacterial growth. Avoiding them helps maintain urinary tract integrity and lowers the risk of infection.
