Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3, 4
Females should wipe the peri-anal/genital area from front to back. E-coli is the most common microorganism responsible for urinary tract infections and can easily be dragged into the urethral orifice by wiping from the anus to the urethra after defecation. Females do have a shorter urethra compared to males and are more susceptible to urinary tract infections for this reason. Taking frequent bubble baths has also been found to lead to urinary tract infections in females. Eating foods high in acidity, drinking large amounts of milk, and family members with urinary tract infections does not increase the risk for urinary tract infections.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The intravenous pyelogram is a radiologic examination that allows visualization of renal calculi in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The other exams listed would not aid in visualization of renal calculi.
