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.
