This statement is correct. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are indeed the most frequently occurring genitourinary infections in both outpatient and emergency department settings. They can affect any part of the urinary system, including the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), and kidneys (pyelonephritis). Symptoms often include a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation while urinating, and cloudy urine. It is crucial for emergency nurses to recognize the signs and symptoms, as well as the risk factors for UTIs to initiate appropriate treatment.
