ATI Pharmacology NRSG 106 Fletcher Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A patient will be starting therapy with a corticosteroid. The nurse reviews the prescriber's orders and notes that an interaction may occur if the corticosteroid is taken with which of these drug classes?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Corticosteroids, when taken with NSAIDs, can increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding due to their combined effect on the stomach lining. This interaction occurs because both corticosteroids and NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the stomach lining.
Therefore, combining these medications can lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal complications.

Choices A, C, and D do not typically have significant interactions with corticosteroids in this context. Antibiotics, opioid analgesics, and antidepressants may have their own interactions with corticosteroids, but they do not pose the same level of risk for gastrointestinal issues as NSAIDs.
