PAUSE
FLAG
A nurse is caring for a client who has atopic dermatitis and a prescription for triamcinolone ointment.
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 ANSWER
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 because topical 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 topical fluticasone;
however, triamcinolone ointment does not cause photosensitivity.
