Nursing DR-TB Guide

This resource is a mobile app of the Nursing Guide for Managing Side Effects to Drug-resistant TB Treatment. The guide was created to act as a reference for nurses to: 1.Identify symptoms that may indicate an anti-TB or anti-retroviral medication-related side effect; 2. Assess for severity as well as other potential contributors; and 3. Intervene appropriately to minimize patient discomfort, reduce side effect progression, and ultimately support successful treatment completion.
