Celebrate the person’s achievement.

Treatment for TB is long and not easy. Treatment completion is worth celebrating.

Talk through questions, concerns, and fears about future follow ups.

To help the person understand the benefit of follow ups.

To encourage TB-aware habits.

Choose a meeting spot.

Read through the Checklist below.

Talk to the nurse about special details or messages to pass along in the meeting.

Mentally prepare to listen and speak with the person.

Congratulate the person on finishing their treatment.

• Congratulations! You did it!

Identify how the person is feeling.

• How do you feel now that you are done? Physically? Mentally?

Remind the person of final evaluations with the nurse/doctor.

• Refer to TB Tests as needed.

• You’re all finished taking your pills. The doctor or nurse will want to ask a few quick questions as part of their end of treatment check up and you might have a few tests.

Educate on X-ray follow ups (SCR) over the next few years.

• Refer to SCR as needed.

• Number of X-rays and follow ups to be determined by the doctor.

• So we won’t be seeing you so much in here anymore but we still want to do X-rays a couple times a year just to make sure your lungs are still healthy and you are TB free.

Give a reminder on important points about TB and future disease/testing.

• Refer to Reinfection as needed.

• Last reminder: Even though your TB was killed, you can catch TB again. So it’s important to still be careful.

• If you are with someone who has Active TB, you may be asked to come to the clinic to answer some questions about your health and testing (possibly on top of your regularly scheduled X-ray).
