    A nurse is teaching about preventative measures to a female client who has chronic urinary tract infections. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Oral estrogen supplements may be used in postmenopausal women but are not the first-line preventative measure for UTIs. B. Soaking in a warm bath can increase the risk of infection by introducing bacteria into the urethra. C. Emptying the bladder every 6 hours is too infrequent; voiding every 2-4 hours is recommended to prevent urinary stasis. D. Adequate hydration flushes the urinary system, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and recurrent infections.
