The nurse is reviewing a client's medication and learns that the client has been taking prednisone. What is the nurse's understanding of the effect of prednisone on the adrenal glands?

▸ Prednisone therapy increases cortisol and decreases adrenocorticotropic hormone via negative feedback principles.

▸ Prednisone therapy can lead to significant toxicity, resulting in dehydration, fever, and hyponatremia.

▸ Prednisone therapy results in destruction of the adrenal medulla, thereby decreasing corticotropin releasing hormone.

▸ Prednisone therapy increases sodium and water resorption and potassium and hydrogen excretion.
