ANS: B
Patients taking glucocorticoids are at risk for infection, because glucocorticoids increase the susceptibility to infection by suppressing host defenses.
Glucocorticoids do not disturb sensory perception.
Glucocorticoids do not put the patient at risk for fluid volume deficit, but rather for fluid volume excess.
Glucocorticoids do not promote a risk of ineffective airway clearance.
