Post by: Jocenta on Apr 5, 2017 A patient who is receiving taper doses of hydrocortisone has been taking oral medication for 3 days. This morning the patient has assessment findings of recurrent adrenal insufficiency. What nursing action, if any, is indicated?
1. These symptoms may come and go for several days, so no action is necessary. 2. Discuss this assessment with the primary health care provider. 3. Give a dose of methylprednisolone instead of hydrocortisone. 4. Give the next hydrocortisone by IV.
