School-age child receiving prednisolone
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a school-age child who is receiving prednisolone. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prolonged wound healing. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid medication that can suppress the immune system, leading to delayed wound healing. The nurse should monitor for this adverse effect by assessing the child's wounds regularly for signs of slow healing.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because hypotension, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and renal failure are not commonly associated with prednisolone use in school-age children. It is important for the nurse to focus on monitoring for the most relevant adverse effect to ensure the child's safety and well-being.
