| Rifampin (Rifadin) nursing interventions | Evaluate renal function, CBC, and urinalysis periodically and during therapy. |
| Guaifenesin action | Reduces viscosity of tenacious secretions by increasing respiratory tract fluid. |
| Guaifenesin side effects | CNS: dizziness, headache GI: nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting Derm: rash, urticaria |
| Guaifenesin nursing interventions | ER tabs and caps taken whole; Instruct patient to cough effectively. Patient should sit upright and take several deep breaths before attempting to cough; admin with water |
