Question 1 of 5

A client comes to the clinic and reports that they stopped taking their prescribed steroids early because they felt much better. What side effect should the nurse anticipate in this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Low blood pressure. Steroids, when stopped abruptly, can lead to adrenal insufficiency, causing low blood pressure due to the body's inability to regulate blood pressure effectively. Peripheral edema (
A) is not typically associated with stopping steroids early. Hyperglycemia (
C) is more commonly seen with long-term steroid use and its sudden cessation. Weight loss (
D) is not a common side effect of stopping steroids abruptly. In this scenario, the most immediate concern would be the risk of low blood pressure due to adrenal suppression.
