Rationale 2: The hematologic system is affected by dapsone.
Rationale 3: The gastrointestinal system is not affected by dapsone.
Rationale 4: The respiratory system is not affected by dapsone.
Global Rationale: Because of its adverse effects on the hematologic system, caution should be used in treating patients with preexisting blood disorders. Frequent blood assessments are conducted during therapy to avoid serious adverse effects. No special monitoring of the urinary, gastrointestinal, or respiratory system is indicated.
