Corticosteroids Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Study this Corticosteroids NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.
Corticosteroids are a class of drugs that include prednisone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone, among many others. These drugs have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that make them effective in treating inflammatory autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, as well as for preventing organ transplant rejection. Corticosteroids may also given to people who have adrenal insufficiency, formally called Addison Disease. Common side effects of taking corticosteroids include hyperglycemia, fluid retention, GI distress, and muscle weakness. Osteoporosis and cataracts may also develop with long-term corticosteroid use. And finally, high or excessive doses of corticosteroids can precipitate a cortisol overload state, formally known as Cushing Syndrome.

Bless the hearts of the people who have to try and come up with something to fit all of this! We appreciate you!

[@Pixorize]

We appreciate you for watching! Let us know what other videos you would like to see?

I always found it helpful to know that corticosteroids make a person retain sodium. And since fluid follows salt, it took care of understanding the fluid retention, pedal edema, puffy eyelids, puffiness in general, rather than memorizing those effects.

Appreciate you

[@AshleyGarcia-yq5os]

remember guys. This was a test question for me. Predisone CANNOT be stopped abruptly, IT NEEDS TO BE TAPERED. If you abruptly stop corticosteriod, it causes ADRENAL CRISIS. this is when adrenal glands are suppresed and they cannot function to produce cortisol at all. It needs to be tapered !

Before a long time, I was thinking about how amazing it will be if someone makes videos to help pharmacy students remember drug names, and now that I've found this channel, I wish I'd found it earlier😍💙

[@karolkiefer6179]

These videos are helping me remember way more facts about medications than any other video I have watched. Thank you!!

[@PrednisonePharmacist]

What a fun video! A few more things patients wish you knew (and warned them) about corticosteroids like prednisone are that it causes moon face, weight gain, mood changes, and insomnia.

[@reginawhite2425]

I have listened to many of your videos and they are great. This one is too except the music in the background is distracting and makes it hard to concentrace on what is being said. Thank you for all of your helpful videos.

[@vandannhidao6365]

I believe this way will help me remember faster and longer! Thank you for your efforts to help nursing students and I hope you will make more videos like this in the future^^

[@aarthi6089]

I was struggling with this topic until I came across this video. Thankyou so much!

[@sravyamangipudi2800]

Thankyou for this video ❤️

Oral Corticosteroids are best taken in the morning as this is when the concentration of endogenous steroids in the body is highest. If taken in the evening there will be a greater interaction with receptors an cause HPA Axis suppression and adrenal insufficiency making a person more prone to infection.

Who is the mastermind behind this😅whoever, it's just wow👈

[@Think_Up]

Our kids asthma specialist had us put a humidifier inside their room which we later learned contributed to mold and dust mite growth, making their asthma chronic. He also prescribed FLOVENT, a steroid inhaler at a dose 4x what it should be for our tiny daughter and it shut down her adrenal system, she nearly died in ICU before an endocrinologist figured out the cause and treatment (cortisone helped her recover over 6 months until she was ok again). This doctor should be behind bars, but he's out doing it to thousands of other kids with the full support and profit of pharma. This system is not helping us. We got our kids off of the inhalers, removed the humidifier and they've been fine since. I'm not diagnosing other's conditions or situations but I'm a parent who nearly lost my child due to gross misuse of these drugs on my daughter.
