Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the medical history of a client who is to start taking prednisone. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a contraindication to prednisone therapy?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Has a systemic fungal infection. Prednisone is a corticosteroid that suppresses the immune system, making the body more susceptible to fungal infections.
Therefore, having a systemic fungal infection would be a contraindication to prednisone therapy as it could worsen the existing infection.

A: Prior episode of kidney stones - This is not a contraindication to prednisone therapy.
C: History of asthma - Prednisone is commonly used to manage asthma, so having a history of asthma does not contraindicate its use.
D: Taking levothyroxine orally - Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone replacement medication and does not directly interact with prednisone.
