Answer 1

Vitamin B6 will be administered to prevent inh associated peripheral neuropathy. Vitamin B6 can help with peripheral nueropathy, since it can relieve the pain from nerve damage, but the nurse must be careful. Too much vitamin B6 can have the opposite effect and cause nerve damage or numbness.
