D

Answer to Question 2

Bronchodilators may increase gastric acid secretion and cause acid reflux. Corticosteroids may cause glucose intolerance and sodium retention, and contribute to negative nitrogen balance. Depending on the diuretic prescribed, Caroline's potassium levels may need to be watched. Antibiotics can have varying effects depending on which one is prescribed. Diarrhea is a common side effect.
