E) Drinking too much water
A, B, D
Feedback:
Some children, because of congenital problems or in-dwelling catheters, require other urinary tract agents such as urinary tract analgesics or antispasmodics. A child with repeated UTIs should be evaluated for potential sexual abuse. Children need to be instructed in proper hygiene and should not be given bubble baths if UTIs occur. Repeated UTIs can be related to drinking alkaline juices such as orange or grapefruit, but not apple. Children should be encouraged to drink a lot of water. Drinking too much water would not cause repeated infections.
