The mother of a patient just admitted with a spinal cord injury is asking if the patient will be given steroids. How should the nurse explain the role of steroids in treating spinal cord injuries?
◦ Steroids have few side effects and remove all symptoms while healing the problem.
◦ Steroids have not been used recently because of possible adverse outcomes.
◦ Steroids can lead to "road rage and anger outbursts" and therefore are avoided except under extreme emergencies.
◦ Steroids will make the patient feel better overall and retain muscle strength due to its "muscle-bulking" effects.
