Corticosteroids Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Описание: Study this Corticosteroids NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Corticosteroids are a class of drugs that include prednisone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone, among many others. These drugs have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that make them effective in treating inflammatory autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, as well as for preventing organ transplant rejection. Corticosteroids may also given to people who have adrenal insufficiency, formally called Addison Disease. Common side effects of taking corticosteroids include hyperglycemia, fluid retention, GI distress, and muscle weakness. Osteoporosis and cataracts may also develop with long-term corticosteroid use. And finally, high or excessive doses of corticosteroids can precipitate a cortisol overload state, formally known as Cushing Syndrome.
