A nurse is teaching a female client about urinary tract infection prevention. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

"I should drink enough fluids throughout the day to have pale yellow urine."

"I should void every 2 to 4 hours during the day."

"I should use mild soap when cleaning the perineal area."

"I should void immediately after intercourse."

"I should apply a thin layer of talcum powder after each void."

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C,D

A. "I should drink enough fluids throughout the day to have pale yellow urine." Adequate hydration helps flush bacteria out of the urinary tract and dilute urine, which can reduce the risk of infection. Pale yellow urine typically indicates proper hydration.
B. "I should void every 2 to 4 hours during the day." Frequent voiding helps to flush out any bacteria that may be present in the bladder, reducing the risk of infection.
C. "I should use mild soap when cleaning the perineal area." Mild soap is less likely to irritate the urethra and surrounding tissues, which can help prevent UTIs. Harsh soaps can disrupt the natural flora and cause irritation.
D. "I should void immediately after intercourse." Voiding after intercourse helps to flush out any bacteria that may have entered the urethra during sexual activity, reducing the risk of infection.
E. "I should apply a thin layer of talcum powder after each void." Talcum powder is not recommended as it can irritate the urethra and perineal area, and particles can enter the urinary tract, potentially increasing the risk of infection.
