Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has tuberculosis and is taking isoniazid and rifampin. Which of the following outcomes indicates that the client is adhering to the medication regimen?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The client has a negative sputum culture. This outcome indicates that the client is adhering to the medication regimen because a negative sputum culture suggests that the tuberculosis bacteria are not actively multiplying, indicating the effectiveness of the isoniazid and rifampin treatment. A negative sputum culture is a direct indicator of treatment success in tuberculosis.
Choice A is incorrect as HIV status is not directly related to medication adherence for TB treatment.
Choice C is incorrect as liver function test results being within the expected range do not necessarily indicate medication adherence.
Choice D is incorrect as a positive purified protein derivative test does not indicate adherence to the medication regimen, it only indicates exposure to the tuberculosis bacteria.
