A client, diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), should be instructed to do which of the following?
1. "Do nothing since this disorder does not require any follow-up."
2. "Decrease water intake to avoid dribbling."
3. "Void every 2 to 3 hours."
4. "Wear scrotal support."

Clients with BPH should void every 2 to 3 hours to flush the urinary tract. Water should not be decreased because this will irritate the urinary mucosa. Scrotal support is not necessary, and BPH does require follow-up visits.
