Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and a new prescription for rifampin. The nurse should instruct the client that they should expect which of the following clinical manifestations while taking this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Orange colored secretions. Rifampin is known to cause a harmless side effect of discoloration of body secretions, including urine, sweat, tears, and saliva. This discoloration is typically orange or red in color and is a well-documented side effect of the medication. Staining of teeth (
A), constipation (
C), and white-colored stools (
D) are not associated with rifampin use.
Therefore, the client should be informed to expect orange-colored secretions while taking rifampin.
