Question 1 of 5
A nurse is instructing a client who is newly diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) about the use of antitubercular medications. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A typical course of treatment involves 6 to 9 months of consistent medication use. This is because treating pulmonary TB requires a prolonged course of antibiotics to effectively kill the bacteria and prevent the development of drug-resistant strains. The treatment regimen typically lasts 6 to 9 months to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
Choice A is incorrect because while it is important for the client's family to be aware of TB and its transmission, they do not need to take medications to prevent infection.
Choice C is incorrect because the Mantoux test is used for diagnosing TB, not for determining the duration of treatment.
Choice D is incorrect as TB treatment does not usually require lifelong medication unless there are specific circumstances like drug-resistant TB.
