Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam
A client exposed to tuberculosis is scheduled to begin prophylactic treatment with isoniazid. Which information is most important for the nurse to note before administering the initial dose?
Explanation & Rationale
A. While the length of exposure can be relevant, it is not the most critical factor before starting isoniazid. B. Isoniazid can cause hepatotoxicity, so a current diagnosis of hepatitis B is crucial to note as it increases the risk of liver damage. C. A history of intravenous drug abuse is important for overall health assessment but is less critical than current liver disease. D. Conversion of the PPD test indicates TB exposure, but assessing liver function and potential for hepatotoxicity is more urgent before starting the medication.
