1. Don't interrupt your day by going to the bathroom; wait until you're at a good stopping place.
2. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily.

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The client should respond to the urge to void as soon as possible to avoid urinary retention.
Rationale 2: Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water daily will encourage the need for bladder emptying, keeping the system flushed.
Rationale 3: The client should report any changes in urine color, which could be indicative of a problem.
Rationale 4: To maintain asepsis, the client should wash with soap and water every day, not every other day.
