An adult has active tuberculosis diagnosed by sputum examination and culture. In evaluating the patient's response to therapy, the nurse will want to see which finding?
 
  1. An improved radiograph within 3 months
  2. The absence of symptoms by 8 weeks
  3. A return to a negative skin test by 4 weeks
  4. A negative CT scan by 2 weeks

Question 2

A patient is diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. When the patient asks about the length of the treatment regimen, the nurse's best response is which of the following?
 
  1. After the sputum is converted to negative for TB organisms, the therapy continues for 12 to 24 months.
  2. The entire course of therapy will last 3 to 6 months or until the chest radiograph is normal.
  3. Therapy is indefinite because there is no method of determining responsiveness.
  4. No therapy is completely effective in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, so treatment is needed for several years.
