Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving discharge instructions for long-term use of Prednisone. Which of the following instructions should be included?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because long-term use of Prednisone can lead to weight gain, necessitating regular weight monitoring by the healthcare provider to manage any potential complications. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because swelling is not a typical reason to stop Prednisone, taking it on an empty stomach is not usually required, and Prednisone commonly increases appetite rather than decreases it.
