Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving prednisone on a long-term basis to treat inflammatory bowel disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Instruct the client to consume a diet high in calcium. Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can lead to decreased calcium absorption, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Instructing the client to consume a diet high in calcium helps counteract the potential bone density loss associated with long-term prednisone use. Monitoring for hypotension (choice
A) is not directly related to prednisone use. Annual immunizations (choice
B) are important but not specifically related to prednisone use. Monitoring for hypoglycemia (choice
D) is more associated with medications like insulin rather than prednisone.
