Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Joint pain is an adverse reaction of ethambutol. Hypersensitivity and skin eruptions are adverse reactions of isoniazid. Myalgia is an adverse reaction of pyrazinamide.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the patient to avoid the consumption of alcohol since alcoholism compounds the patient's difficulties and complicates the general condition of the patient's gastrointestinal tract. The nurse should instruct the patient to take the prescribed dose of ethambutol without regard to food and to take the prescribed pyrazinamide along with food. The nurse should instruct the patient to avoid doubling the dose in case the earlier dose was missed.
