rationale, strategy, tip
answer options
1 tea
2 water
3 coffee
4 white wine

Explanation:

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, often caused by infection. To minimize recurrence, clients should consume fluids that don't irritate the bladder and help flush out bacteria. Water is the most neutral and hydrating beverage, promoting urine output to flush the urinary tract. Tea (especially caffeinated or with irritants), coffee (caffeinated and can irritate), and white wine (alcoholic, can irritate the bladder) are not ideal.

Answer:

1. Water
