The client asks the nurse, "how did I get this urinary tract infection?" the nurse should explain that in most instances, cystitis is caused by:
A descending infection from the urethra
An infection elsewhere in the body
Urinary stasis in the bladder
Congenital strictures in the urethra
The Correct Answer is C
A. UTIs typically start as an ascending infection from the urethra into the bladder, not descending.
B. UTIs, especially cystitis, are generally localized infections that do not stem from infections elsewhere in the body.
C. Urinary stasis (incomplete emptying of the bladder) can lead to bacterial growth, which is a common cause of cystitis.
D. While congenital strictures can predispose to infections by causing urinary stasis, they are not the primary cause in most cases of cystitis.
