Question 5 of 5
An adult patient has tested positive for tuberculosis (TB). While providing patient teaching, what information should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tuberculosis treatment hinges on strict adherence to a multidrug regimen (e.g., isoniazid, rifampin) for 6-12 months to eradicate Mycobacterium tuberculosis and prevent resistance, making this the nurse's top teaching priority. Noncompliance risks relapse, spread, and multidrug-resistant TB, a public health threat. TB is not a lifelong condition if treated correctly; it's curable, countering the idea of chronic ADL impairment. It's not self-limiting untreated, it progresses, often fatally, not resolving spontaneously in years. Occupational or physical therapy isn't typically required unless complications like joint damage occur, which isn't standard. Emphasizing medication adherence ensures the patient understands the regimen's duration, side effects (e.g., hepatotoxicity), and follow-up (e.g., sputum tests), empowering them to complete treatment and achieve cure, aligning with global TB control strategies.
