Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : C,D,F

A. This statement is incorrect because tuberculosis treatment typically lasts longer than a week, and the client may remain contagious until the infectiousness subsides, which usually occurs after a few weeks of treatment.
B. TB treatment typically lasts for 6 months, not 6 weeks.

C.   Rifampin, one of the medications for tuberculosis, can cause red-orange discoloration of body fluids (including tears, saliva, and urine), and can typically discolor contact lenses.
D.   Directly observed therapy (DOT) is a recommended strategy for tuberculosis treatment to ensure medication adherence. Having someone observe the client taking their medication helps to confirm compliance and reduces the risk of non- adherence.
E.   This statement is incorrect because alcohol consumption can interact with some tuberculosis medications, leading to potential liver toxicity or reducing the effectiveness of the drugs.
F.   This statement demonstrates an understanding of the importance of informing the healthcare provider about any new medications. It's crucial to avoid potential interactions between tuberculosis medications and other drugs.
G.   The Mantoux test is typically not repeated during tuberculosis treatment unless there is a specific clinical indication, such as an initial negative test with ongoing symptoms or exposure.
