A nurse is caring for a client who has atopic dermatitis and a prescription for
triamcinoloneointment. The nurse should assess the client to monitor for which of the
following adverse effects?
Increased pigmentation
Topical glucocorticoid therapy can cause the adverse effect of hypopigmentation.
Localized hair loss
Long-term glucocorticoid therapy can cause hypertrichosis, or excessive hair
growth,especially on the facial area.
Thinning of the skin
MY A NSWER
Thinning of the skin and delayed healing are adverse effects of topical glucocorticoid
preparations. The client should only apply the ointment to dry patches of the skin
becausetopical steroids can cause atrophy of the dermis and epidermis, which can result
in thinning of the skin.
Increased sensitivity to the sun
The nurse should instruct the client to avoid excessive sun exposure when taking
topicalfluticasone; however, triamcinolone ointment does not cause photosensitivity.
