The nurse is preparing the client for discharge. Exhibits Which of the following statements indicate the client understands the discharge teaching? Select the 3 client statements that indicate an understanding of the teaching.

A. "I can continue my current alcohol intake." The client should avoid alcohol while taking tuberculosis (TB) medications such as isoniazid and rifampin, as alcohol increases the risk of hepatotoxicity. B. "I can expect my contact lenses to turn red or orange." Rifampin, a common medication used to treat TB, can cause bodily fluids such as urine, sweat, tears, and saliva to turn red or orange. This can stain soft contact lenses permanently, so clients should be informed of this side effect. C. "I will need to take my medications for a total of 6 weeks." The standard treatment for TB typically lasts at least 6 months, not just 6 weeks. Clients must complete the full course of therapy to prevent drug resistance and recurrence. D. "I will need to have a repeat Mantoux test in 4 weeks." A Mantoux test (tuberculin skin test) is not needed after a confirmed TB diagnosis with a positive sputum culture. Instead, follow-up evaluations include repeat sputum cultures and chest x-rays. E. "I am no longer contagious." Clients with active pulmonary TB are considered contagious until they have completed at least two weeks of effective treatment, have improving symptoms, and have three consecutive negative sputum cultures. F. "I should notify my provider if I start taking new over-the-counter or prescription medications." TB medications, especially rifampin, can interact with many drugs, including oral contraceptives, anticoagulants, and antiretrovirals. Clients must inform their provider of any new medications. G. "I will need to have someone observe me when I take medication." Directly observed therapy (DOT) is recommended for clients with TB to ensure medication adherence and reduce the risk of treatment failure or drug resistance.
