Clients who are severely immunocompromised or who have diabetes mellitus are more prone to fungal UTIs.The nurse should assess for these factors by asking about medical history,current medical problems,and the current medication list.A physical examination and a post-void residual may be needed,but not until further information is obtained indicating that these examinations are necessary.Travel to foreign countries probably would not be important because,even if exposed,the client needs some degree of compromised immunity to develop a fungal UTI.
