Rationale 1: Hypothermia would not be seen; temperature regulation is not related to glucocorticoid therapy.
Rationale 2: Hypotension would not be expected related to the increased production of angiotensin II.
Rationale 3: Hypertension would be expected related to the increased production of angiotensin II.
Rationale 4: Weight loss would not be seen; weight gain is more likely with glucocorticoid therapy.
Global Rationale: Hypertension, not hypotension, would be expected related to the increased production of angiotensin II. Hypothermia would not be seen; temperature regulation is not related to glucocorticoid therapy.
Weight loss would not be seen; weight gain is more likely with glucocorticoid therapy.
