Question

The nurse cares for a client diagnosed with active tuberculosis. which instructions does the nurse give the client about follow-up care after discharge from the hospital?

Answer 1

As a follow-up care for tuberculosis, the nurse should ask the patient to pay monthly visits the hospital, in order to observe the effects of the medications on the patient's condition, and the response of the patient to the drugs. This will help them to know if the medications are working on the disease and if there are any serious adverse effects.
