The nurse in a urology clinic is asked by a parent why her son does not get urinary tract infections

The nurse in a urology clinic is asked by a parent why her son does not get urinary tract infections but her daughter does. How should the nurse respond?

1. “Your son’s urethra is longer than your daughter’s, which makes it more difficult for bacteria to enter.”
2. “Your son’s scrotum is a physical barrier between the urethra and the anus, which provides added protection against UTIs.”
3. “Your son’s urethra is shorter than your daughter’s, which protects him from UTIs.”
4. “Your daughter may not be properly wiping after urination, which can increase the risk of developing a UTI.”
5. “There are no anatomical differences between the male and female urinary tract. Some people are just more prone to UTIs than others.”
