Q

Adrencorticosteroids: adverse reaction (8)

A

~suppression of adrenal glands ~increased fat deposition in shoulders, face and abdomen (ergo weight gain) ~hypertension ~increased body hair ~glucose intolerance (diabetes) ~osteoporosis ~breakdown of collagen in bones ligaments, tendons, and skin (due to increased excretion of calcium) ~increased susceptibility to infection (because of depressed inflammatory response)

Q

Antibacterial agents: special consideration for rehab

A

Cephalasporins believed to have contributed to rise in antibiotic-resistant infections. Watch for hypersensitivity reactions (itching, rashes, wheezing). Antibiotic resistance may develop w/prolonged use, inhibiting healing). Patients on Vancomycin or Zyvox may have MRSA – Bloodborne pathogen precautions apply.
