All right.
00:03
The question states that a nurse is admitting a client who's been taking prednisone 10 milligrams, po daily for 10 months.
00:11
Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of this medication therapy? so we have, a, absence of hair on legs below the knees.
00:21
Well, we can eliminate that because usually there's hair that begins to grow that was not there before.
00:27
So absence would not be something we'd be observing.
00:31
B, swelling and decreased range of motion of the joints.
00:36
Mostly, you know, the prednisone should be reducing swelling.
00:41
Not to say that there wouldn't be any at all, but it's an anti -inflammatory.
00:45
So for that reason, b is most likely not going to be one of our choices.
00:49
C, thin extremities with obesity of the abdomen.
00:51
That could be a possibility...
