Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has active pulmonary tuberculosis about management of medication for the disease. Which of the following statements is appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "You will need to take two or more medications to treat your disease." This statement is appropriate because active pulmonary tuberculosis is typically treated with a combination of medications to prevent the development of drug-resistant strains. Multiple medications are necessary to effectively target the bacteria and reduce the risk of treatment failure.
Choice A is incorrect because monitoring kidney function typically involves regular urine tests, not blood draws.
Choice B is incorrect as tuberculin skin tests are not routinely done during treatment for active tuberculosis; they are used for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection.
Choice D is incorrect as treatment duration for active pulmonary tuberculosis is typically 6-9 months, not 3 years.
