Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse anticipate from the provider?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Fludrocortisone. Adrenal insufficiency leads to a deficiency in cortisol and aldosterone. Fludrocortisone is a mineralocorticoid replacement that helps regulate sodium and potassium levels, compensating for aldosterone deficiency. Phenytoin (
A) is an anticonvulsant, Calcitonin (
B) is used for osteoporosis, and Buspirone (
C) is an anxiolytic - none of which address adrenal insufficiency.
Therefore, the correct prescription to anticipate for adrenal insufficiency is Fludrocortisone (
D).
