Ati pharmacology 2 assessment proctored exam
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for isoniazid. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Frequent sputum tests may be needed to monitor the effectiveness of isoniazid, particularly in assessing the resolution of tuberculosis infection. B. Isoniazid is usually prescribed for a minimum of six months for tuberculosis treatment, not just a month. Thus, stopping after one month is incorrect. C. Antacids containing aluminum should not be taken concurrently with isoniazid, as they can interfere with the absorption of the medication, reducing its effectiveness. D. Constipation is not a common side effect of isoniazid. The more frequent side effects include peripheral neuropathy and liver toxicity, making this statement incorrect.
