Rationale: Triamcinolone (Azmacort) is an adrenocortical steroid. The client who is being changed from an oral to an inhalation glucocorticoid could experience signs of adrenal insufficiency. The nurse should monitor the client for anorexia, nausea, weakness, and fatigue. The nurse should also monitor for hypotension and hypoglycemia.
