Question
Answer
pulmonary tuberculosis   chronic recurrent infectious disease airborne infection  
🗑
which countries have the highest rates for TB   Asia, Africa, MiddleEast, LatinAmerica  
🗑
reasons for TB resurgence   *>rate of tb with HIV pt *emergence of drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis (L569)  
🗑
Mycobacterium tuberculosis   slow growing, rod shaped, acid fast bacilli -waxy outer capsule=resistant to destruction  
🗑
how long one gets active TB?   after exposure, 8-10wks asymptomatic then becomes active  
🗑
spread of TB   -REPEATED CLOSE contact to be infected (sneeze, cough) -Cant be spread by hands, glasses, dishes (L570)  
🗑
individuals at risk   immigrants (Asia, Africa, MiddleEast, LatinAmerica), HIV/AIDs/immunocompromised, alcoholics,IVdrug users, homeless, children <5, residents of overcrowded institutions, healthcare workers working with TB pt  
🗑
nonActive TB: LTBI (latent Tuberculosis Infection)   person has effective immune response; granuloma/tubercle/no replication=controlled  
🗑
Active TB   person has inadequate immune response; slowly replicates, spread  
🗑
chances of active TB with LTBI   10-20% will have active TB within 1yr 5-10% within a lifetime  
🗑
S/S Active TB   develop insidiously, initially nonspecific *night sweats, fatigue, <grade fever; <appetite, wt loss, dry cough then purulent/bloodtinged, dyspnea  
🗑
tuberculin skin test(Mantoux test)   reading in 48-72hr, induration indicates exposure and development of antibodies (not redness)  
🗑
TB skin test: SIZE of INDURATION   5-9mm=HIV/AIDS, immunocompromised 10-15mm=immmigrants <5yrs, children<4, IV drug users, prisoner, homeless, DM, alcholics >15mm=anybody  
🗑
false positive rxn   BCG vaccine (other countries); a live virus -person has developed antibodies from vaccine  
🗑
false negative rxn   improper administration, read to soon  
🗑
nurs responsibilites: TB skin test   *assess BCG vaccine prior; intradermal inj, bevel up/visible blob, use good light when reading, use marking pen, horizontal measurement  
🗑
Bump/Induration: bigger/>15mm vs small/<9mm   >15mm=stronger immune <9mm=immunocompromised, <response to test due to immunity is fighting other organisms (L571)  
🗑
skin test again after +result?   person with +skin test should not be tested again because sensitivity to tuberculin tends to persist throughout life (L571)  
🗑
diagnostic test for TB   sputum smears for AFB/acid fast bacilli, sputum culture, CXR, quantiferon TB  
🗑
Diagnosing active TB   *contagious; abnormal CXR, +sputum, symptomatic, +skin test (just a screening test)  
🗑
LTBI   exposed but not active, not contagious; -CXR, asymptomatic, +skin test  
🗑
testings prior drug therapy for active TB   liver function (AST,ALT), vision, audiometric testings  
🗑
normal liver function tests   AST= ALT= bilirubin=  
🗑
acute care for active TB pt   private room with airborne, infection control, pharmacologic therapy, nutrition, hydration, pt education  
🗑
why is hospitalization rare?   pt can be treated as an outpatient this is because treatment is dependent on presenting symptoms  
🗑
what is the mainstay of TB treatment?   Pharmacologic therapy (L571)  
🗑
treatment for LTBI   INH (isoniazide) 300mg once daily 6-12months  
🗑
treatment for active TB   *initial phase 2mos (INH, Rifampin, PZA/pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) then *continuation phase 2-6mos drug combination (Rifamate: INH/Rifampin)  
🗑
purpose of sputum cultures   monitor therapeutic effectiveness, compliance to therapy, resolving symptoms; done at certain times  
🗑
when is a pt not contagious anymore?   after 3 neg sputum cultures as well as completion of therapy and asymptomatic *but no golden parameters  
🗑
nurs responsibility: pharmacologic therapy of HIV pt   be cautious of possible drug interactions between antiretrovirals and rifamycins (L572)  
🗑
can TB pt stay home?   yes, if household contacts have been exposed and there is no exposure to >risk groups within that home  
🗑
ambulatory and home care   notification of public health esp if drug compliance is questionable so follow up of close contacts can be accomplished (L575) *follow up care 12mos (eg sputum, CXR)  
🗑
why is noncompliance a big concern?   there is a risk of development of drug resistant strains  
🗑
what is implemented to avoid noncompliance?   -DOT (direct observational therapy) via a public health agency, community healthcare worker watch pt take med -combination of drugs to simplify therapy - isoniazid/rifampin (L572)  
🗑
nurs interventions   infection control in hospital/at home, nutrition, hydration, support system, pharmacologic therapy, incentives, pt education  
🗑
infection control in hospital   private room neg airflow, standard precautions recommended by CDC, PPE/HEPA-N95mask, <spread/contamination, proper collection of sputum specimen (brownpaperbag, biohazard - tightly seal), uncontrolled cough provide mask  
🗑
infection control at home   cover mouth/nose with tissue, proper disposal of tissue (brownbag sealed, burned, flushed down the toilet), collect sputum in well ventilated area-outside, sleep alone, no visitors until noninfectious, no travel outside US till neg sputum  
🗑
nutritional/hydration therapy   >protein, >CHO diet, >fluids, avoid alcohol/stop drug usage  
🗑
what does neg airflow mean?   air out but not going back in  
🗑
incentives to follow treatment program   coupons for food, free access/vouchers, money exchanges  
🗑
pt education   med regime-1fullyr, infection control/<transmission  
🗑
PCs r/t drug therapy   Sensory disturbances, ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hepatoxicity  
🗑
Isoniazide (INH)   prohylaxis alone, drugcomb treatment SE: HEPATOXICITY, anemia *AST, ALT, bilirubin; CBC *avoid alcohol, >effects phenytoin/carbamazepine, disulfram(antabuse)-<coordination, psychosis  
🗑
Rifampin   drugcomb treatment SE:HEPATOXICITY, GI distress, secretions ORANGE/Permanent discolor contact lenses *CBC, liver/renal fcn *<effect oral contraceptives/hypoglycemics/anticoagulants, theophylline, steroids, opioids, betablockers, benzodiazepines  
🗑
Rifamate   comb of INH and Rifampin -INH and Rifampin given together for 6-12mos  
🗑
Pyrazinamide (PZA)   treatment used for 2mos SE: hepatoxicity, HYPERURICEMIA (goutyflareups, joint/toe pains, anemia *CBC, liver fcn, URIC ACID LEVELS *>fluids  
🗑
Ethambutol   drugcomb treatment SE: blurred vision *contra OPTIC NEURITIS *VISUAL ACUITY/COLOR, CBC, BUN/creat, liver fcn  
🗑
Streptomycin   drugcomb treatment SE: NEPHROTOXICITY, OTOTOXICITY *IM inj, BUN/creat  
🗑
pharmacologic therapy cautions   liver/renal dysfunctions, pregnancy/lactation, gouty arthritis, alcoholic, optic neuritis  
🗑
normal renal function tests   BUN= creatinine=  
🗑
CBC with differentials   RBC= hgb= hct=
