Therefore, low total cholesterol (choice A), high HDL (choice C), and low blood triglycerides (choice D) are considered desirable blood lipid values. Low total cholesterol is beneficial as high levels can increase the risk of heart disease. High HDL cholesterol is considered good as it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. Low blood triglycerides are also preferred as high levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to empty the bladder at each voiding. This is essential to prevent urinary retention and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. Choice A is incorrect because holding urine for prolonged periods can lead to urinary retention and increase the risk of infections. Choice B is incorrect as pineapple juice can exacerbate a burning sensation due to its acidity; the correct approach is to drink water to dilute the urine. Choice C is incorrect as wiping from the anal area towards the pubis can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, potentially causing infections.
