<h2>Answer:</h2>

After instruction about care while at home this statement <u>"I should contact the doctor if my temperature is 100.4° F (38°C) or higher.</u> " indicates effective teaching.

<h2> Explanation :</h2>

Because there is an increased risk of infection in the client , so , when the client says that she will contact the doctor if her temperature is 38° C (100.4° F) or greater , successful teaching is indicated.

The client should be instructed that he should monitor her temperature two times / day.

The client should avoid all the activities which can cause infection i-e from coitus, douching, and tub bathing.

As water in shower doesn't enter the vagina and increase the risk of infection ,showering is permitted .

A fluid intake of at least 2 L daily is recommended to prevent potential urinary tract infection.
