Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients taking rifampin should be warned that urine, feces, saliva, sputum, sweat, and tears may turn a harmless red-orange color. Patients should not wear soft contact lenses to avoid permanent staining. Regular eye exams are necessary for patients who receive isoniazid and ethambutol. Orange urine is a harmless side effect and does not need to be reported. Renal toxicity is not common with rifampin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Peripheral neuropathy is an adverse reaction to INH, so pyridoxine is usually given to prevent this. It is not necessary to change medications. Increasing fluids will not help with this.
