A patient with genital herpes is experiencing increased pain with urination. What should the nurse suggest to the patient to manage this symptom?
1. Drink more water.
2. Drink more cranberry juice.
3. Drink more orange juice.
4. Restrict fluids.
Correct Answer: 1
Drinking additional fluids also helps dilute the acidity of the urine; however, fluids that increase acidity such as cranberry should be avoided. Orange juice is not identified as reducing the pain associated with urination. Restricting fluids could make the pain worse.
