Lowered resistance to infection? Sounds exaggerated to me.

Wait, peptic ulceration? I thought that was rare with prednisone.

Prednisone can cause muscle weakness for sure.

Peptic ulceration seems likely since steroids can irritate the stomach, but I feel like I’ve seen questions where hypoglycemia was mentioned as an exception.

I’m not sure about hypoglycemia; I thought corticosteroids usually increase blood sugar levels.

I remember reading that prednisone can cause muscle weakness, so I think A might be true.

Sodium retention sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's a direct effect of prednisone or just a side effect of corticosteroids in general.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the differences between the database options to determine which one best fits the scenario.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem a bit confusing, and I'm not familiar with all the JTA attributes. I'll have to think about this a bit more.
