Study Notes
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transmission
- Main transmission method is through airborne droplets from an infected individual.
Antitubercular Drug Adverse Reactions
- Isoniazid can cause peripheral neuropathy, psychotic behavior, and hepatotoxicity.
Amphotericin B Side Effects
- Common side effects include fever, chills, muscle spasms, headache, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
- Adverse reactions may include nephrotoxicity and electrolyte imbalances.
Nursing Intervention for Anthelmintics
- Administering anthelmintics with food can help prevent gastrointestinal distress.
Types of Immunity
- Passive immunity occurs when antibodies are received from another source, such as maternal antibodies.
Vaccine Types
- Live attenuated vaccines contain weakened microorganisms to provoke an immune response without causing disease.
Isoniazid Administration Timing
- Isoniazid should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals for optimal absorption.
Rifampin Patient Education
- Patients should be informed that rifampin can cause reddish-orange discoloration of urine, sweat, and tears.
Nursing Interventions for Antiviral Drugs
- Prioritize assessing the patient’s history for any previous allergic reactions to antiviral medications.
Flu Vaccine Allergy Inquiry
- Inquire about an allergy to eggs, as many flu vaccines are produced using eggs and may trigger allergic reactions.
