Tuberculosis (TB)
Caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antitubercular drugs treat all forms of Mycobacterium (MTB) TB is most commonly characterized by granulomas in the lungs: nodular accumulations of inflammatory cells (e.g., macrophages, lymphocytes) that are delimited (“walled off” with clear boundaries) and have a center that has a cheesy or caseated consistency Antitubercular Drugs Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc.

Tubercle bacilli
are conveyed by droplets. Droplets are expelled by coughing or sneezing, and they then gain entry into the body by inhalation. Tubercle bacilli then spread to other body organs via blood and lymphatic systems. Tubercle bacilli may become dormant, or walled off by calcified or fibrous tissue.

1950s TB
in the United States TB incidence decreased in most years until about 1985 1985: TB incidence began to rise for the first time in 20 years because of the development of TB in patients coinfected with HIV. 1992: There was a resurgence peak in the United States, but it has decreased since that time. Incidence Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 8
9.
2012: rate
of 3.2 TB cases per 100,000 persons with a 5.4% and 6.1% decline in cases reported and case rate decline respectively 2012 reported TB cases: lowest recorded rate since national reporting began in 1953 Decline is attributed to intensified public health efforts aimed at preventing, diagnosing, and treating TB as well as HIV infection. Concern now: increasing number of multidrug- resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases Incidence (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 9

TB infects
one third of the world’s population. MDR-TB that is resistant to both isoniazid (INH) and rifampin Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB): relatively rare type of MDR-TB, resistant to almost all drugs used to treat TB, including the two best first- line drugs, INH and rifampin, as well as to the best second-line medications XDR-TB is of special concern for patients who have AIDS or are otherwise immunocompromised.

Major effects
of drug therapy: reduction of cough and, therefore, reduction of the infectiousness of the patient Normally occurs within 2 weeks of the initiation of drug therapy if TB strain is drug sensitive Most cases of TB can be cured. Successful treatment: several antibiotic drugs for at least 6 months and sometimes for as long as 12 months Antitubercular Drug Therapy Considerations Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 16
17.
Perform drug-susceptibility
testing on the first Mycobacterium spp. that is isolated from a patient specimen to prevent the development of MDR- TB. Even before the results of susceptibility tests are known, begin a regimen with multiple antitubercular drugs (to reduce the chances of development of resistance).

Audience Response System
Question A patient with TB has been taking antitubercular drugs. A sputum culture is ordered to test for acid- fast bacilli. When is the best time for the nurse to obtain the sputum culture? A. In the morning B. Noon C. 5 PM D. 10 PM Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 18
19.
Adjust drug
regimen after the results of susceptibility testing are known. Monitor patient compliance closely during therapy. Problems with successful therapy occur because of patient nonadherence to drug therapy and the increased incidence of drug-resistant organisms. Antitubercular Drug Therapy Considerations (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 19

24.
Audience Response System
Question A patient with a diagnosis of TB will be taking INH as part of the anti-TB therapy. When reviewing the patient’s chart, the nurse finds documentation that the patient is a “slow acetylator.” This means that: A. the dosage of INH may need to be lower to prevent INH accumulation. B. the dosage of INH may need to be higher because of the slow acetylation process. C. he should not take INH. D. he will need to take a combination of anti-TB drugs for successful therapy. Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 24

INH: peripheral
neuropathy, hepatotoxicity Ethambutol: retrobulbar neuritis, blindness Rifampin: hepatitis; discoloration of urine, stools, and other body fluids Adverse Effects Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 25
26.
Audience Response System
Question A patient is receiving INH for the treatment of TB. Which vitamin does the nurse anticipate administering with the INH to prevent INH-precipitated peripheral neuropathies? A. Vitamin C B. Vitamin B12 C. Vitamin D D. Vitamin B6 Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 26
27.
Obtain a
thorough medical history and assessment. Perform liver function studies in patients who are to receive INH or rifampin (especially in older patients and those who use alcohol daily). Assess for contraindications to the various drugs, conditions for cautious use, and potential drug interactions. Nursing Implications Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 27
28.
Patient education
is critical. Therapy may last for up to 24 months. Take medications exactly as ordered at the same time every day. Emphasize the importance of strict adherence to regimen for improvement of condition or cure. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 28
29.
Audience Response System
Question Four weeks after beginning antitubercular drug therapy on an outpatient basis, the patient reports that he still experiences night sweats. What does the nurse identify as the main concern at this time? A. He is not taking his medication properly. B. More time is needed to see a therapeutic response. C. His infection may be resistant to the drug therapy ordered. D. He may have contracted a different strain of TB. Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 29
30.
Patient education
is critical. (Cont.) Remind patients that they are contagious during the initial period of their illness—instruct in proper hygiene and prevention of the spread of infected droplets. Teach patients to take care of themselves, including getting adequate nutrition and rest. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 30
31.
Patients should
not consume alcohol while taking these medications or take other medications, including over-the-counter medications, unless they check with their prescribers. Rifampin causes oral contraceptives to become ineffective; another form of birth control is needed. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 31
32.
Patients who
are taking rifampin should be told that their urine, stool, saliva, sputum, sweat, or tears may become reddish orange; even contact lenses may be stained. Pyridoxine may be needed to combat neurologic adverse effects associated with INH therapy. Oral preparations may be given with meals to reduce gastrointestinal upset even though recommendations are to take them 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 32
33.
Monitor for
adverse effects. Instruct patients on the adverse effects that should be reported to the prescriber immediately. These include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, numbness and tingling of the extremities, fever, loss of appetite, depression, and jaundice. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 33
34.
Monitor for
therapeutic effects. Decrease in symptoms of TB, such as cough and fever Laboratory study results (culture and sensitivity tests) and chest radiographs should confirm clinical findings. Watch for lack of clinical response to therapy, indicating possible drug resistance. Nursing Implications (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 34
35.
Audience Response System
Question A patient has an extremely severe infection with a Mycobacterium that is resistant to all but one antitubercular drug; however, the patient has had an allergic reaction to that drug in the past. What does the nurse anticipate as being ordered for this patient? A. A combination of antitubercular drugs will be chosen to fight the infection. B. The patient will receive the drug and supportive care to help him tolerate the antitubercular therapy. C. The patient will remain on isolation precautions until his cough clears. D. There is nothing that can be done for this patient. Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 35
36.
Case Study A home
care nurse is visiting a patient with a diagnosis of TB. The patient traveled abroad 2 months ago. He lives with his wife and 5- year-old son. The patient tells the nurse that he is concerned his son will also get TB, so he wants to share his pills with his son. What is the best response by the nurse? A. “That is a good idea. Children should not be exposed to TB.” B. “You should give your son half of the dose you take.” C. “Do not share any of your medications with anyone. Contact your son’s health care provider to discuss your concerns.” D. “Children have an immune system that makes them immune to TB.” Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 36
37.
Case Study (Cont.) The
patient tells the nurse, “I had a shot after I returned from my trip overseas. I thought that was supposed to stop me from getting a TB infection.” What information regarding TB-related injections does the nurse identify as being true? A. BCG is used to prevent infection with TB for women of childbearing age. B. A positive result for a PPD test is indicated by redness at the site of injection. C. PPD is a diagnostic injection given intradermally to detect exposure to the TB organism. D. BCG is a vaccine injection derived from an activated strain of Mycobacterium bovis. Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 37
38.
Case Study (Cont.) The
patient’s wife is taking rifampin to prevent her from developing a TB infection. Which statement by the wife indicates that further teaching is needed? A. “Because my oral contraceptives will not work while I am taking rifampin, I will use another form of birth control.” B. “I will take the medication for 1 week and then stop.” C. “I will avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.” D. “My urine may turn a reddish color when taking rifampin.” Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 38
