Free NCLEX RN Questions on Health Promotion and Maintenance Nursing Practice Question
The nurse instructs a perinatal client about measures to prevent urinary tract infections. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of these measures?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Wearing items with a cotton panel liner allows for air movement in and around the genital area. Wearing tight clothes irritates the genital area and does not allow for air circulation. Harsh, scented, or printed toilet paper may cause irritation. Bubble bath or other bath oils should be avoided because these may be irritating to the urethra and lead to a urinary tract infection.
