Question

pharmacology made easy 5.0 the respiratory system test question: 14 of 25 time remaining: 16:08:24 a nurse is teaching a client who is taking prednisone for acute asthma exacerbation. which of the following instructions should the nurse include? \avoid taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication.\
inse your mouth after taking the medication to prevent a yeast infection.\ \stop taking the medication if you become nauseous.\ \change position slowly when standing up.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Prednisone (a steroid) and nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) both can cause GI bleeding/ulcers. So avoiding NSAIDs is correct.
• Option 2: Rinsing mouth is for inhaled steroids (like budesonide), not oral prednisone.
• Option 3: Prednisone should be tapered, not stopped abruptly even with nausea.
• Option 4: Changing position slowly is for drugs causing orthostatic hypotension, not a common effect of prednisone.

Answer:

A. "Avoid taking nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory medication."
