Answer to Question 1

Answer: C, E

Rifampin is an oral antituberculosis medication that should be administered on an empty stomach. The nurse should monitor the CBC, liver function studies, and renal function studies. A baseline visual examination before therapy is necessary with ethambutol, another antituberculosis medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The client has developed a urinary tract infection that was not present upon admission. This is a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) and is likely due to poor technique when placing the Foley catheter. There is no evidence of a respiratory infections, renal failure, or the passage of kidney stones.
