Pyrazinamide is a medication used to treat tuberculosis that can cause renal damage and crystal formation in the urine if not adequately hydrated. The client should also avoid alcohol and have regular liver function tests while taking this medication. Isoniazid should not be taken with antacids, as they can decrease its absorption and effectiveness. Sputum cultures are expected to be negative after 2 months of therapy, not 6 months. Providing a sputum specimen every 2 weeks is not an instruction for the client, but a part of the monitoring process by the health care team.
