Choice B reason: Wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the risk of urinary tract infections. The correct technique is to wipe from front to back Choice C reason: Nylon underwear can trap moisture, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth.
