Question 1 of 5
A client newly diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) has been taking antitubercular drugs for 1 week calls the clinic and is very upset. He says, 'My urine is dark orange! What's wrong with me?' Which response by the nurse is correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct response is B: "This is an expected side effect of the medicine. Let's review what to expect." Dark orange urine is a known side effect of antitubercular drugs, specifically rifampin. It is important for the nurse to reassure the client that this is a common side effect and not a sign of worsening TB. By educating the client about what to expect, the nurse can alleviate the client's anxiety and promote adherence to the medication regimen.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they either suggest a worsening of TB, do not acknowledge the side effect, or recommend stopping the medication without proper assessment.
