Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for vertigo as an adverse reaction of rifampin in the patient. Diarrhea, fever, and dermatitis are not adverse reactions of administering rifampin. Diarrhea is an adverse reaction of pyrazinamide. Fever is an adverse reaction of isoniazid. Dermatitis and pruritus are the adverse reactions of ethambutol.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should know that pyrazinamide is contraindicated among patients with acute gout. Pyrazinamide is also contraindicated in patients with acute hepatic or renal impairment and in patients with diabetes mellitus. Ethambutol is contraindicated in patients with diabetic retinopathy, patients with cataracts, and patients who are younger than 13 years of age.
