You are called to the scene of a 48-year-old complaining of severe dyspnea. The patient has a history of a right-sided myocardial infarction and has a prescribed inhaler containing a beta agonist as well as steroids. The inhaler has provided no relief. Which of the following would you MOST likely expect to find with this patient as a result of his long-term steroid use? The long-term steroid use played no role in precipitating the MI. The patient may present with signs consistent with Cushing’s disease. The patient will demonstrate signs of dehydration and a decrease in available sugar. A more rapid, positive response to his beta-2 steroid inhaler in cases of status asthmaticus.
