After diagnosing a client with pulmonary tuberculosis, the physician tells family members
that they must receive isoniazid (INH [Laniazid]) as prophylaxis against tuberculosis. The
client's daughter asks the nurse how long the drug must be taken. What is the usual duration
of prophylactic isoniazid therapy?

3 to 5 days
1 to 3 weeks
6 to 12 months
2 to 4 months

6-12 months
Prophylactic isoniazid therapy must continue for 6 to 12 months at a daily dosage of 300 mg.
Taking the drug for less than 6 months may not provide adequate protection against
tuberculosis.

A nurse is caring for a client with chest trauma. Which nursing diagnosis takes the highest
priority?

Ineffective tissue perfusion (cardiopulmonary)
Impaired gas exchange
Anxiety
Decreased cardiac output

Impaired gas exchange
For a client with chest trauma, a diagnosis of Impaired gas exchange takes priority because
adequate gas exchange is essential for survival. Although the other nursing diagnoses —
Anxiety, Decreased cardiac output, and Ineffective tissue perfusion (cardiopulmonary) — are
possible for this client, they are lower priorities than Impaired gas exchange.
