Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who has a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for? Which adverse effect should the nurse monitor for prednisone?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Weight gain. Prednisone, a corticosteroid, commonly causes weight gain due to fluid retention and increased appetite. The rationale for this is that prednisone can alter metabolism, leading to redistribution of body fat and increased retention of sodium and water. Monitoring for weight gain is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the medication and to prevent complications such as edema and hypertension.
Regarding the other choices:
A: Hypoglycemia - Prednisone typically causes hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia.
C: Hypotension - Prednisone can lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure, not hypotension.
D: Bradycardia - Prednisone does not commonly cause bradycardia; it can actually lead to an increased heart rate.
