Answer to Question 1

4
Isoniazid therapy lasts 6 to 12 months. Taking the medication less than 6 months can be ineffective. The spouse should not be instructed to take the medication for 10 to 24 hours, 1 to 3 months, or 4 to 7 months.

Answer to Question 2

4
Streptomycin is a medication that can be used until the cause of hepatitis is identified or the liver tissue heals. It is also given for those who have a first-line drug intolerance. First-line drugs are isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), ethambutol (EMB), and pyrazinamide (PZA).
