To prevent UTIs, the nurse teaches the client to void (empty) immediately after sexual intercourse.
<h3>What are urinary tract infections (UTIs)?</h3>
UTIs are commonly occurring infections that occur when the bacteria, quite often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract.
The infection may occur in any part of the urinary system i.e. the kidneys, bladder and the urethra.
These infections are commonly occurring in women.
The symptoms include pelvic pain, strong urge to urinate, pain with urination, cloudy urine and blood in the urine.
To prevent UTIs, drink plenty of water, empty your bladder soon after intercourse, drink cranberry juice and avoid irritating feminine products.
The easiest way to prevent UTIs is to flush the bacteria immediately out of the urinary tract before it starts to grow there. Therefore, drink lots of water.

One reasonable plan would be to wear a face mask or surgical
mask. Take note that your surgical mask contains two sides – the white side and the
blue side. Since the main purpose of your mask usage is to prevent yourself
from inhaling too much bad air, the blue side of the mask should be the one
touching your skin. This is because the white side of your mask helps you
prevent from coming in contact with toxins that may come from the smog.
