Simulated
The nurse is providing follow-up care to a client with tuberculosis who does not regularly take his medication. Which nursing action would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Having a spouse supervise medication administration ensures adherence, critical for tuberculosis treatment. Weekly visits are insufficient. Changing prescriptions doesn't address noncompliance. Fear-based reminders are less effective than direct support.
