Rationale 2: Glucocorticoids are a class of immunosuppressants.
Rationale 3: Antipsychotics are not a class of immunosuppressants.
Rationale 4: Antifungal is not a class of immunosuppressants.

Rationale 1: Nutritional status is not a key priority for the client.
Rationale 2: Vital signs are important but not the key priority.
Rationale 3: Renal function is key because these drugs can cause nephrotoxicity because of physiological changes in the kidneys.
