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: D
Rationale:
Choice D is correct because multidrug therapy is the standard treatment for active pulmonary tuberculosis to prevent drug resistance. Using a combination of antibiotics helps to effectively target different stages of the bacterial life cycle. This approach also reduces the risk of treatment failure.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect.
Choice A is not accurate because the standard treatment duration for active pulmonary tuberculosis is typically 6 months to 1 year, not 3 years.
Choice B is incorrect as tuberculin skin tests are used for diagnosing tuberculosis, not for monitoring treatment.
Choice C is also incorrect as kidney function monitoring is important, but it is typically done less frequently than monthly.
