    HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Drinking large amounts of fluids before bedtime may increase nocturia but does not specifically prevent UTIs. B. Voiding before and after sexual activity helps flush out bacteria that could enter the urethra. C. Holding urine is harmful and can increase the risk of bacterial growth. D. Cleaning in a circular motion is not the correct hygiene technique; wiping front to back is the recommended method.
