Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Current research does support multiple drug treatment, but this does not explain the rationale for this to the client.
Rationale 2: Tuberculosis bacilli are likely to develop resistance to one drug, so multiple drugs must be used.
Rationale 3: Treatment must be continued long after the client is no longer contagious.
Rationale 4: Clients cannot develop immunity to bacterial infections.
