You inform the physician of J. S.'s assessment. The physician believes J. S. has developed Cushing syndrome and decides to change his prescription from
dexamethasone (Decadron) daily to prednisone (Deltasone) given on alternate
days. Explain the rationale for this change.

The change seeks to reduce the amount of steroids accumulated in the body.

Explanation:

Dexamethasone and prednisone are very similar corticoids and establish equally similar treatments for various types of problem. Although the effects of the two drugs are similar, patients can adapt better to using one than using the other. This may be the first reason the doctor changed J.S.

When the doctor decided that he J.S. should take the medication every other day he was looking to reduce the incidence of side effects and reduce Cushing's syndrome. This is because this syndrome is a result of excess corticosteroids in the body. In this case, if J.S. took prednisone every other day, the amount of corticosteroids in his body would decrease, which would regulate his hormones and decrease Cushing's Syndrome, as well as other side effects.
