How would the nurse explain to a client the rationale for administering corticosteroids after an organ transplant?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corticosteroids are given after organ transplant to prevent the immune system from rejecting the implanted organ. They suppress the immune system by decreasing the production and activity of immune cells, particularly those responsible for attacking foreign substances, including transplanted organs. This helps to ensure the survival and function of the transplant.
