Question 1 of 5
The client is preparing to learn about the effects of isoniazid (INH). Which information is essential for the client to understand?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: It is crucial for the client to understand that consuming alcohol while on isoniazid can increase the risk of drug-induced hepatitis. Hepatic damage can lead to dark, concentrated urine.
To minimize gastrointestinal upset, it is recommended to take isoniazid with meals rather than on an empty stomach. Additionally, the client should avoid taking aluminum-containing antacids like aluminum hydroxide with isoniazid, as it can reduce the drug's effectiveness.
Choice A is incorrect because isoniazid should not be taken on an empty stomach to help reduce GI upset.
Choice B is incorrect, as prolonged use of isoniazid does not typically cause dark, concentrated urine.
Choice C is incorrect as taking aluminum hydroxide with isoniazid does not enhance the drug's effects; in fact, it may decrease its effectiveness.
