You have been assigned to care for Mr. U, a 32-year-old man who has been diagnosed with TB. He goes to the public health department daily to receive his dose of isoniazid and rifampin. Ms. O is your clinical instructor for the day. She has a reputation for asking a lot of questions about the patient's medications. Ms. O asks you the following questions.

 

1.    "How do the drugs isoniazid and rifampin work? Why has Mr. U been prescribed two drugs to treat his tuberculosis?" How would you answer this question?

2.    "What is the most common adverse effect of each drug? How will you assess for these?" How would you respond?
