Question

A school nurse is educating a class of middle-school girls on how to promote urinary system health. Which of the following statements by one of the girls indicates a need for more information?

A) ""I will take showers rather than baths.""
B) ""I will wear underpants with cotton crotches.""
C) ""I will tell my parents if I have burning or pain.""
D) ""I will wipe back to front after going to the toilet.""

Answer 1

The statement that indicates a need for more information is option D: "I will wipe back to front after going to the toilet."

Step-by-step explanation:

Wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anus into the urethra, which can increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in females. It is important to teach girls to wipe from front to back in order to maintain urinary system health and prevent UTIs.

Wearing underpants with cotton crotches, taking showers instead of baths, and informing parents if there is burning or pain are all correct approaches to promote urinary system health. So therefore the correct answer is D: "I will wipe back to front after going to the toilet."
