Question 1 of 5

Which tuberculosis patient is at the greatest risk of developing a drug-resistant form of the disease?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: A 35-year-old patient who did not complete the full course of anti-tubercular therapy in the past. This patient is at the greatest risk of developing drug-resistant tuberculosis due to incomplete treatment, which can lead to the survival of more resistant strains of the tuberculosis bacteria. Not completing the full course of treatment allows the bacteria to adapt and become resistant to the drugs used previously.

Choice A is incorrect because taking pyridoxine with isoniazid does not increase the risk of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Choice B is incorrect because noticing red-orange urine while on rifampin is a common and expected side effect, not indicative of drug resistance.

Choice C is incorrect as the patient has been compliant with treatment for 24 months, reducing the risk of developing drug-resistant tuberculosis.
In summary, choice D is correct because incomplete treatment increases the likelihood of drug resistance, while the other choices do not directly contribute to drug resistance.
