Mrs.Carson,30 years old,has had several bladder infections in the past year.Which of the following nursing interventions would help prevent future urinary tract infections?

A) After urinating,wipe the perineum from back to front
B) Encourage the use of bubble baths
C) Have the client increase sugar in the diet
D) Instruct the client to empty the bladder completely

Instructing the client to empty the bladder completely helps prevent urinary tract infections by eliminating any residual urine that may contain bacteria. Wiping the perineum from back to front can actually introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the risk of infection. Encouraging the use of bubble baths can irritate the urethra and also increase the risk of infection. Increasing sugar in the diet can lead to increased bacterial growth in the urine.
