Question 1 of 5

A patient is prescribed oral prednisone for an exacerbation of an autoimmune disease. Which finding in the patient's past medical history would contraindicate the use of prednisone?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Peptic ulcer disease. Prednisone can exacerbate peptic ulcer disease due to its potential to increase gastric acid secretion and decrease mucosal protection, leading to ulcer formation or worsening. Tuberculous meningitis (
A), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (
B), and cerebral edema (
C) are not contraindications for prednisone use. Tuberculous meningitis may require additional treatment, but prednisone can be used in combination. Similarly, prednisone can be beneficial for managing COPD exacerbations and reducing cerebral edema in certain conditions.
