An adult client has pulmonary tuberculosis. He is receiving INH 300 mg PO, ethambutol 1 g PO daily, and streptomycin 1 g IM three times a week. When he comes in for a checkup, he tells the nurse that he hates getting shots and his ears ring most of the time. What advice does the nurse expect will be given to this client?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Streptomycin├óÔé¼Ôäós ototoxicity may require discontinuation, not pyridoxine (used for INH). Red urine/feces is expected with rifampin, not listed here, but monitoring is key.
