Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has tuberculosis and a prescription for rifampin. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I should take this medication on an empty stomach." Rifampin should be taken on an empty stomach to maximize absorption. Taking it with food can decrease its effectiveness.
Choice A is incorrect because rifampin treatment typically lasts several months, not just until one negative sputum culture.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they are not common side effects of rifampin. The client should be informed about potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset or discoloration of bodily fluids, but not ringing in the ears or joint pain.
