    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Nursing
    • Pharmacology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Corticosteroids are frequently utilized in managing orthopedic conditions.
    • Effective nursing care is crucial for mitigating potential adverse effects of corticosteroid therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the physiological production and effects of corticosteroids.
    • To describe potential risks associated with high-dose corticosteroid use.
    • To outline nursing interventions for managing steroid-related complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of corticosteroid physiology.
    • Analysis of risks linked to elevated corticosteroid dosages.
    • Description of nursing assessment, prevention, and management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Corticosteroids have significant physiological impacts relevant to orthopedic treatment.
    • Higher doses increase the risk of complications.
    • Targeted nursing interventions can effectively manage these risks.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses require comprehensive knowledge of corticosteroid mechanisms and risks.
    • Proactive nursing management is essential for optimizing patient outcomes in corticosteroid therapy.
    • Minimizing adverse effects enhances the safety and efficacy of steroid treatment in orthopedics.
