The Nurse Is Assessing a 72-Year-Old Female Patient in the Women's

The nurse is assessing a 72-year-old female patient in the women's health clinic. The mildly obese patient's history includes 7 vaginal births, 2 of which necessitated forceps deliveries, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. The patient states that she has become incontinent of urine, has a history of frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) , and has a sense of fullness "down there." What would be an appropriate nursing intervention to help the patient with her symptoms?

A) Instruct the patient to stop urinating midstream at least twice a day.
B) Instruct the patient to eat a high-fiber diet and increase fluid intake.
C) Instruct the patient to add probiotics to their diet while taking antibiotics.
D) Instruct the patient to bear down effectively while having a bowel movement.
