Question

A patient is scheduled for elective surgery. to prevent the complication of hypotension and cardiovascular collapse, the nurse should report the use of what medication?

Answer 1

The nurse should report the use of prednisone. Since the patient may experience cardiovascular collapse it would be best to use prednisone because it helps with breathing problems. Prednisone is also able to raise one's blood pressure so it would prevent hypotension, which causes low blood pressure.
