Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the patient that administering two to three drugs in combination slows down the development of bacterial resistance in the body. Administering a combination of drugs will not specifically prevent the incidence of liver dysfunction. Using drugs in combination does not slow down the body's resistance to medication, though it does reduce the development of bacterial resistance. Prophylactic treatment helps in preventing the TB from spreading further.
