The instructions which the nurse should include on the list after treating a patient with tuberculosis include the following:

  • Activities should be resumed gradually.
  • A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated.
  • Respiratory isolation is not necessary because family members already have been exposed.

This refers to a disease which is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria attacks the lungs thereby resulting in symptoms such as coughing, weight loss etc.

After being treated, the patient can resume activities and don't need any  isolation but should ensure that the mouth and nose are covered and disposed properly when coughing.

A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated so as to confirm the absence of the bacteria so as to discontinue drug usage.
