A mother is confused as to why her daughter develops urinary tract infections more frequently than her son when their diet and fluid intake is similar. What should the nurse respond to the mother?
 
  A) A girl's urethra is much shorter and straighter than a boy's, so it can be contaminated fairly easily.
  B) The position of the urethra in girls makes girls more susceptible than boys to UTIs.
  C) Girls need more vitamin C than boys to keep their urinary tract healthy so your daughter may be deficient in vitamin C.
  D) It is unlikely that your daughter is practicing good cleaning habits after she voids.

Question 2

A single male caregiver of a 14-year-old girl comments that the child is mean and miserable during her periods. What would be the most appropriate response by the nurse?
 
  A) PMS is a problem for a lot of women, but sometimes it's worse in the beginning. She might outgrow it.
  B) There are nutritional and medical things she can do to lessen the symptoms; I'll give both of you information about some strategies and we'll track her for a few months.
  C) That must be hard on you especially because you are raising her by yourself.
  D) There really isn't anything that can be done to lessen the symptoms.
