A client will be prescribed an oral corticosteroid for treatment of a rash. The prescriber says, In order to avoid adverse effects, I am prescribing the smallest amount possible. What other prescribing regimens could the nurse suggest to achieve this same effect?
 
  1. Give the oral medication every other day.
  2. Administer a larger dose for a few days and then gradually decrease the dose until the medication is discontinued.
  3. Use a topical application instead of an oral product.
  4. Start with a small dose and work up to the desired dose.
  5. Administer the doses intramuscularly for the first few days of treatment.
