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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Prolonged wound healing. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that can delay wound healing by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation. The nurse should monitor for signs of delayed wound healing, such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage at the wound site. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (
A) is a severe allergic reaction, not typically associated with prednisolone. Hypotension (
C) is more commonly seen with other medications like antihypertensives. Renal failure (
D) is not a common adverse effect of prednisolone.
