► In this nursing video, we break down a common scenario in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment—switching a patient’s medication from prednisone to dexamethasone. A patient with increased RA symptoms may ask, ""Why the medication change?"" This video explains how to answer that question effectively, covering the reasons behind choosing dexamethasone, a much more potent steroid, over prednisone for managing inflammation.

We walk through practical strategies on how to approach these types of questions, helping you improve your critical thinking skills when assessing medication changes. Plus, we discuss key pharmacology points like dexamethasone's stronger anti-inflammatory properties and its lack of mineralocorticoid activity, which makes it an ideal choice when treating RA patients with exacerbated symptoms.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a better understanding of why dexamethasone is sometimes preferred for patients who don’t respond adequately to prednisone and how to communicate these concepts with your patients. This is a great resource for nursing students and professionals preparing for exams and clinical practice!
