The nurse is teaching a female client about preventive measures for urinary tract infections (UTI). Which information should the nurse include?

A. Cleanse the perineal area in circular motion after voiding: Cleaning should be done from front to back, not in a circular motion, to prevent introducing bacteria from the anal area to the urethra. B. Drink large amounts of fluids before bedtime: Drinking large amounts before bed can lead to bladder distention and nighttime urgency, which may not effectively prevent infection and can disrupt sleep. C. Empty the bladder before and after sexual intercourse: Voiding before and after intercourse helps flush out bacteria introduced into the urethra during sexual activity, significantly reducing the risk of UTI. D. Hold urine for at least 10 minutes to dilute bacteria: Holding urine encourages bacterial growth by allowing urine to remain stagnant in the bladder longer, increasing the risk of infection rather than preventing it.
