*It is not enough to list only. by other factors such as sexual activity, urinary retention,
and underlying medical conditions. The most commonly
occurring bacteria are Escherichia coli (E. coli).

 Risk Factors: Learn what increases the risk of UTIs,

including gender, age, sexual activity, catheter use, and
underlying health conditions.
 Measures of Preventing UTIs: Describe preventive
measures, including avoiding harsh soaps and bubble
baths, urinating regularly, drinking plenty of water,
practicing good hygiene, and avoiding bacteria.

Instructions

 Demonstrate how bacteria can enter the

urinary tract using visual aids, like
diagrams. Involve patient/family members
in the discussion, asking questions to
ensure comprehension.
 Describe how behaviors and conditions can
increase the risk of UTIs.

Learning Goal 2: Recognize UTI Symptoms

Content:

Common Symptoms of UTIs: Describe the foremost common

causes of UTIs. These symptoms may include frequent urination,
burning, cloudy or bloody urine, and abdominal discomfort.

Complications

 Untreated UTIs can lead to kidney infections,

higher rates of fever, back pain, nausea, and
worse symptoms.

Instructions

 Use case studies to illustrate UTI symptoms and

their outcomes.
 Use visual aids such as charts depicting common
symptoms.

 Encourage patients and families to ask questions

and to discuss concerns.

Learning Goal 3: Practice Proper Hygiene and Self-Care

Content:

Hydration

 Emphasize adequate hydration and its role in flushing bacteria

from the urinary tract.
 Maintain at least eight glasses (64 ounces) of water each day.

Hand wash

 Emphasize handwashing after toileting, emphasizing thorough

cleaning before and after.
 Explain that this results in a decrease in bacteria spreading.

Perineal Care

Discuss how the bacteria can be prevented from the urethra

getting into the anal area, especially by teaching women to wipe
from front to back after urination or bowel movements.

Instructions

 Explain proper handwashing and perineal care techniques.

 Provide written instructions with step-by-step guidance for
reference.
 Encourage the patient/family to practice these techniques
during the training session, providing feedback as needed.

Assessment of Learning Indicators to Determine Readiness of the Patient

 Questions: Ask questions and observe the interest of
patient towards UTIs, their causes, symptoms, and
prevention methods.
 Feedback: It shows a patient is retaining information if
he gives feedback or repeats critical points from the
education session.
 Previous knowledge: The goal is to assess whether the
patient understands UTIs or can connect new
information to what he already knows.
Teaching Tools Discussion (Q&A)

choose the tools?
(Discussion, Q&A, Videos,
Pre/Post Test, Handouts, Visual Aids (Diagrams and Charts)
Models, Hands on Skill, etc.)
 Rationale: Hydration is crucial in how bacteria
enter the urinary tract; hydrate charts and diagrams
are used. The use of visual aids enhances
understanding, especially for visual learners.

Handouts (Written Material)

 Rationale: Insisting on written materials during a

teaching session reinforces the information
presented. These materials can be used at the
patient's convenience to help with retention, as
well as quick references.

Demonstrations (Hands-on skills)

 Rationale: The demonstrations include hands-on

learning on handwashing and perineal care. Hands-
 on training is efficient for kinesthetic learners, as
patients can observe and practice these skills
during the session, ensuring they can confidently
apply them in their daily routines.

Healthy Literacy Levels: Ascertain the patient's health literacy levels.
Adjust the teaching materials and approach accordingly. Make sure
that written materials are at an appropriate reading level.
Visual and Audio Aids: Consider visual aids, diagrams, and verbal
explanations when talking to patients with lower literacy levels.

goals?
 Discussion: Engage the patient in a discussion about UTI
causes and prevention. Encourage the patient to share his
understanding and ask questions. His active participation and
depth of contributions can indicate the patient's
understanding.

Learning Goal 2: Recognize UTI Symptoms

 Symptom recognitions: To demonstrate the achievement of

this goal, I will provide a list of UTI symptoms and ask the
patient to identify them.

 Scenario0-based Questions: Question the patient on what he

would do if he experienced frequent urination and burning
while urinating. Weigh his responses to determine if he can
relate symptoms to UTIs.

Learning Goal 3: Practice Proper Hygiene and Self-Care

 Follow-up questions: In subsequent appointments, ask the

patient about their hygiene and self-care practices related to
 UTI prevention. His ability to describe these behaviors and his
consistency indicate achievement.
 Demonstrations: Provide feedback and corrections as needed
as he demonstrates and executes proper handwashing and
perineal care. He should be able to do these correctly.
