Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Burning with urination is a common symptom of a UTI.
Rationale 2: Drinking 8 or more glasses of water per day will help to prevent the development of a UTI.
Rationale 3: Wiping from front to back after bowel movements will help to prevent the development of a UTI.
Rationale 4: Voiding only two or three times per day is not sufficient to prevent recurrence of a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. The white blood cell (WBC) count increases to 25,000/mm3 to 30,000/mm3 during labor and early postpartum. This count is abnormally high, and requires further assessment and provider notification.
