Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Advise the client who is being treated with a glucocorticoid medication to eat foods rich in potassium, such as fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, meats, and nuts, because prednisone promotes potassium loss and hypokalemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Monitor older adults for signs and symptoms of increased osteoporosis because glucocorticoids promote calcium loss from bone.
