    Ati Med Surg 2 Proctored Exam (Anderson)

    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. This statement indicates a misunderstanding. Wiping from back to front increases the risk of transferring bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, which can cause UTIs. Correct technique is front to back to minimize bacterial contamination. This statement demonstrates the need for further teaching. B. Avoiding bubble baths is recommended because soaps, fragrances, and bath additives can irritate the urethra and vaginal area, increasing susceptibility to infection. This statement shows proper understanding. C. Urinating after sexual activity helps flush bacteria from the urethra, reducing the risk of UTIs. This demonstrates accurate understanding of preventive measures. D. Adequate hydration increases urine flow, which helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract and prevent infection. This reflects proper teaching.
