When talking with a client about drinking cranberry juice to prevent UTIs, the nurse should also stress the importance of:

   2. Adequate fluid intake and proper personal hygiene.
   3. Eating yogurt daily if possible.
   4. Probiotic dietary supplements.

Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Some evidence exists that suggests that cranberry juice may help to prevent UTIs when consumed along with an adequate fluid intake and proper personal hygiene. Cranberry products and dried cranberries have not been shown to prevent UTIs. Eating yogurt and using probiotic dietary supplements are not proven to be beneficial in treating UTIs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The composition of a low-fat diet is 74 carbohydrate, 17 protein, and 9 fat. The meal of black beans, rice, tomatoes, salad, broccoli, oranges, and skim milk fits those guidelines the best.
