Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a prescription for rifampin for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Take the medication on an empty stomach. Rifampin is best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach, usually 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. This maximizes its effectiveness in treating TB.
Choice B is incorrect because discoloration of body fluids (including saliva) is a known side effect of rifampin and does not indicate the need to discontinue the medication.
Choice C is incorrect because the client should not return for another TB skin test in 3 months unless specifically instructed by the healthcare provider.
Choice D is incorrect because treatment for TB usually lasts for several months, not just 1 week.
